Hi All,

A while ago someone tried to install this game on my laptop (an old
Pentium III Sony).
The game failed to play (too old hardware). Now I realized that the
software is still there and I want to remove it, but if fails to
uninstall. After having started the "uninstall" programme, it gives me
a confirmation window, I click on "Yes" and then it shows the following
error:

Error number: 0x80040702
Description: cannot load dll : E

Installation terminated.

How do I force the uninstall of this package, bearing in mind that I do
not have the original CD?

Hi haydude,

Here's how to uninstall a game when using Add-Remove programs fails:

Step A: Start your computer in Safe Mode by holding down the F8 key.

Step B: Reinstall the game to the same folder it was installed to originally,
and then try to uninstall it again using Add-Remove programs. In,
your case, delete it's folder and any save games in My Documents.

Step C: Install and Run Regcleaner and if it finds any stray registry keys for the
game, delete them: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html
