Your game will try to add an entry to window registry. So, even if you uninstall it, it will still have an record that you've played this game. To open registry editor, click run from start menu, type regedit and run. Search for all main key(eg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) and click program sub key. Delete the key if you find your game name here!!
But, most importantly, do not delete other key. If you dont know where the key is, better do nothing!! Registry Key is very important. It will cause system error if you've deleted wrong key!!

They don't put it in Add/Removbe programs so you are forced to buy the game. That is how big companies make their money - and they'd probably make reinstalling trials illegal. See if there is a free alternative to it - there are quiet a lot of clones out there, or download it on Limewire (www.limewire.com)

Find any registry keys for that game and delete them. Along with any folders and files the game created.
Or re-install windows. <<< that's a joke!
