I keep having to re-install all th games every time I want to use them?

Question

My wife and kid's computer has a problem...all the games that I installed, and put shortcuts to on the desktop seem to keep uninstalling themselves. I will install again, and the next time we click on it, it says something about "please install..."( i dont remember the actual message, and Im not anywhere near the comp. now. When I put the CD-rom in, there is only an option to install the games, as if it is the very first time. It sucks to have to do this every time...Any ideas??

How can they all be corrupt? 7 games from 7 cd roms, and I install them over and over again??

Answer 1

First I would check to see if the programs are really gone from your computer. Look in Programs to see if they are there. If not double check by going to Control Panel, then Add Remove Programs. Then search the list to see if the games are there. If they are my next move would be to uninstall all of them since they are probably corrupted somehow. After you've removed all traces of the "disappearing" programs" reinstall them one more time.

If they are not there post more info please.

Sorry, by the contents of your question I did not realize they were on 7 different cd's. If they are all uninstalling as you say and the computer is used for the internet then it sounds as if you have some type of virus or related problem going on.

I understand your frustration and hope you find someone who can resolve your problem.
