Hi Mark,
Yes, you could uninstall it manually. Here's the steps I usually recommend:
Here's how to uninstall a game, especially tricky ones:
Step A: In Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs, remove the game and then delete the game's folder especially if you previously
experienced problems with a patch, or if you installed the Trial, Mods, NO CD patches, etc.
Note: Click Start to Search or Find your game. Many times there are two installs
of the same game on a system and the patch installs to the wrong one. Also if you
installed a Trial version of the game, this could be causing a conflict.. Uninstall it
and delete the folder.
Step B: Reinstall the game to the same folder and try uninstalling it
Step C: Install and Run Regcleaner and if it finds any stray registry keys for the
game, delete them. Reboot your computer, and then re-install the game.

| Is it possible to uninstall the game manually? Are programmes like RegEdit
| reliable/safe to use?
