problem I am running xp hopefully someone can help thanks

Hi swinnysis,

Uninstall both the trial and the full version of the game, after you verify
that you have any codes required to reinstall the game handy. If you
encounter any problems, it could be that the uninstaller is at fault.

Here's how to uninstall a game when using Add-Remove programs fails:

Step A: Start your computer in Safe Mode by holding down the F8 key.

Step B: Reinstall the game to the same folder it was installed to originally,
and then try to uninstall it again using Add-Remove programs. If
that fails, delete it's folder and any save games in My Documents.

Step C: Install and Run Regcleaner and if it finds any stray registry keys for the
game, delete them: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html
