Re: Please help cannot reinstall game
Hi,
Could you please post a screenshot of the error message for us? When you unistalled the game last, did you remove it through Add/Remove Programs (in the Control Panel) or did you just delete all the files?

Re: Please help cannot reinstall game
If you removed the game through Add/Remove Programs, there shouldn't be any files left to be deleted. However, since there are, just delete the entire folder (make sure you're deleting the right one, of course). I'll do a bit of research on that error message and find out exactly what it means.

Re: Please help cannot reinstall game

Re: Please help cannot reinstall game
Hi,
My apologies for taking so long to reply - I've been away a bit on business trips. Firstly, read this and see if the solution there helps. Otherwise, try the following. Quote:
