Hi Raul,

Here's what you can do to resolve that:

1. Backup any saved games and/or mods to a safe location.
Save games are often found in My Documents\My Games.

2. Uninstall the game using Control Panel / Add-Remove programs.
* Manually delete the game folder since Add-Remove didn't work.

3. Clear any references to the game leftover in your registry using this
Registry Cleaner: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html

4. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.

5. After a reboot close & exit your Antivirus and any other programs
using this method: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796

6. Install the game again from your original CD, do not use a backup.

7. Don't reuse the saved games/mods until you properly test the game.
