i wrote these instructions to remind myself quite some time back. i presume they are still accurate:
1- Save the installer found by clicking the scrolling marquee at this site:
http://www.pinballnirvana.com/index.php
2- Right click on the file you saved and Run as administrator.
3- It will install the vpin program to your c drive in a program files folder.
4- Inside that folder you will find a Tables folder and Roms folder which are important later.
5- Go to this site which might require a free registration:
http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?&CODE=00
6- Click Search, Downloads, enter a pinball name like "Addams" and click Go
7- click on the item called "The Addams Family VP9 1.02"
http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?automodule=downloads&req=idx&cmd=viewdetail&f_id=3181

In some other thread I think these guys recommended a certain name of a designer for fun pinball games, if you are on a limited budget.
I have a Black Knight by Steve R. and it's brilliant. so many little nuances that make it super fun.
I think these guys are onto something when they recommend certain designers.....
