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.
