I'm trying to install a version of Majesty: Gold Edition
and when I insert the CD it tells me that the computer is
detecting other versions of Majesty and to remove them
before installing the Gold Edition.

When I go to the Add/Remove Programs screen, Majesty
shows up but when I click on Remove it gives me an error
message that it cannot detect the file. Does this mean
someone uninstalled a previous version of Majesty wrong?

What do I need to do to solve this problem? Thanks so
much.
 
Hi Kat,

Here's how to uninstall Majesty from your system:

1. Backup any saved games and/or mods to a safe location.
Save games are often found in My Documents\My Games.
2. Uninstall the game using Control Panel / Add-Remove programs.
* Manually delete the game folder if Add-Remove doesn't work.
3. Clear any references to the game leftover in your registry using this
Registry Cleaner: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html
4. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.
5. After a reboot close & exit your Antivirus and any other programs
using this method: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796
6. Install the game again from your original CD, do not use a backup.
7. Don't reuse the saved games/mods until you properly test the game.
