I'm assuming that you've tried an "un-install" and after you launch the game it still runs?? Or maybe you get an hourglass wait?? Well, you'll have to manually do a couple of steps to thourghly rid your hard drive of this game. GO to Start>settings>control panel. Double click on add/remove , scroll down, look for an instance of what the game might be labeled, select, then uninstall. Otherwise you'll have to go into your registry but I won't recommend this as you can seriously damage your O/S and loose valuable data if you muck up. If you feel brave, reply and I'll go through the steps. Good luck

That might mean that some of the files for the game are even missing (like the uninstall tool).
One thing you can try is trying to install disc for the game. Put in the cd for the game. It should prompt with you some options. One of the options may be to uninstall the game.

You could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To:
start
programs
accessories
systems tools
system restore
This process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.
You may need to reinstall any recent software programs, but it is a quick fix when you dont know what else to do.

Honestly? I think you need to stop installing and uniinstalling crap from your computer. No wonder it doesn't work. Maybe you can come over to the house I will give you a course on the proper techniques of unistalling programs that you KNOW you do not need. Otherwise.. Keep your hands off that mouse!!!

have you tried uninstalling it thru add/remove programmes under the control panel?
