Hi

I uninstalled a game -- Medal of Honor a while ago and
now I want to play it again. However, when I unistalled
the game under the control panel, add/remove programs it
still indicated that Medal of Honor was installed even
though I've uninstalled it.
Now when I want to install the game it won't let me. I
insert the CD, but all I can do is either Modify, repair,
or uninstall. I've tried to uninstall it 5 times but its
still listed.

How can remove the name from the list?

Thx a lot.

Hi Jenna,

Here are the uninstall instructions from EA's support site:

If you are attempting to reinstall Medal of Honor Allied Assault and you
are getting a window that provides you with the options to Modify, Repair,
or Remove the game or you have uninstalled the game but it still shows up in
Add or Remove Programs then some files are still left on your system. These
files located in your registry.

The following steps will completely remove the game and all of its settings
from your computer. Be warned that if these steps are not followed
correctly, your installation of windows could become corrupted. If you do
not wish to complete these steps yourself, call one of our phone
representatives with the phone number provided in the back of the game
manual for help. It is recommended that you print out this page before
proceeding.

1. Delete the games directory.
a. Double click on My Computer.
b. Double click on C:\
c. Double click on Program Files

2. Next delete MOHAA from the start menu as well.

b. Click on Programs
c. Click on EA Games
d. Right click on Medal of Honor Allied Assault.

3. Now load the registry editor. Go to Start -> Run -> type in "regedit"
(without the quotes).

Before doing anything in the Registry it is important that a backup be made.
If any mistakes are made while working in the Registry the system could
become unstable or inoperable as a result.

To back up your Registry in Windows XP:
1. Click on File
2. Click on Export
3. Type in Backup in the File name field.
4. Change the Export range to All.
5. Click Save (By default this file should will saved to My Documents)

10. Click on {0DEA94ED-915A-4834-A87E-388D012C8E02} one time so that it is
highlighted and then press the delete key on your keyboard. When asked if
you are sure you would like to delete this file select Yes.

11. With this file deleted close the Registry Editor.

NOTE* The following steps should only be taken if a mistake was made during
the above steps to remove the Registry key.

To restore your Registry in Windows 98/Me/XP
1. Right click on the Backup.reg file that you created.
2. Click Merge, this will then cause your Registry to be restored.
The above steps to restore the Registry should ONLY be taken if you have
deleted a key you did not mean to delete. Restoring the Registry when it is
working fine can result in unwanted effects.

Now that the above Registry entry has been deleted the game can be
reinstalled normally. You will no longer receive the Modify, Repair, or
Remove screen when attempting to run the installation wizard. Additionally
the game will no longer appear in your Add or Remove Programs list.
