Hi imas86,

Here's how to uninstall that pesky game without using it's uninstaller:

Optional
Step A: Temporarily disable Startup programs one at a time, starting with
Firewall, Antivirus & AdBlockers using this method:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796 or this utility:
http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php Reboot, go to Step B.

Step B: Delete the game folder. Note: Click Start to Search or Find it

Step C: Install and Run Regcleaner and if it finds any stray registry keys for the
game, delete them. Reboot your computer, and then re-install the game.
Regcleaner Download: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html

Step D: Look in My Documents to be certain there's no saved games there.

Cheers,
Jimmy S.
