| Here's how to properly install or reinstall a game (and/or patch):
|
| 1. Backup any saved games and/or mods to a safe location.
|
| 2. Uninstall the game using Control Panel / Add-Remove programs.
| * Manually delete the game folder or saved games in your case.
|
| 3. Clear any references to the game leftover in your registry using:

|
| 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:

|
| 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.

| | install because of a missing install.log, but it won't re-
| | install because it says you need to un-install. Is there
| | any other way to uninstall programs from your computer
| | other than the add/remove programs menu, because that
