Hello.
personally i'd not play this game when I tried to run it, it worked fine but I had to restart my computer to turn the music off when I closed the program by pressing alt f4. I didn't close it the normal way by pressing enter on exit so perhaps that's why it didn't close correctly.
If you do want to try it, here are some steps that i think might be able to help you.
First you need to uninstall the program.
I don't know what version of windows you're running.
You need to go to your control panel and then to add or remove programs.
Press Enter on that, then find ten pin boling in the list of programs.
Press your applocations key and arrow down to uninstal and press enter, when the uninstaler comes up, presss y or tab to the yes button and wait for the game to uninstal.
After that, go to this website and click on the download link and then save the file.

Try installing the game again and see if that helps.
I just read that direct x with windows 10 should already be installed and up to date if you've installed all your updates.
I'm gone for real :)
