Uninstalling computer games?

Question

My dad won't let me get the computer game Black and White 2 unless I uninstall it after playing if for a month or so. I was wondering, after uninstalling a game, does your computer remain slow and still carry files pertaining to the game? or does it completely erase it? please help computer buffs!

Hi. Sometimes the registry is changed when the program is installed. Good programs would fix this upon uninstall but not all do. A good program to find and fix some of these errors is "Advanced WindowsCare", free at this location. I use it. http://www.iobit.com/

if to procure the boxed product, then the product key is provided interior the packaging with the recreation. you could certainly uninstall the video games and reinstall them on a various laptop. they often use product activation to verify that video games won't be able to be put in and performed on different desktops concurrently.
