I had windows millenium.2 weeks ago i upgraded to xp
professional.
I now can not run the game - Star Wars Galalctic
Battlegrounds.
First it said missing start up file.
Then swgb.exe missing.
Now says - source\ifxsystem.cpp
line 231 error. i do enviromental dump but does nothing.
also says on same error abnormal closure.
It suggested i re-install the game.
So went to add or remove programs it will not remove it.
So tried to re-install,put the cd in it can not find the
file and asks me to browse.I do browse find lucas arts.
Open it there is an install file but it is empty ?
It worked fine untill i got xp.

Hi Fraggle,

Here's how to properly uninstall SWGB

1. Backup any saved games and/or mods to a safe location.

2. Uninstall the game using Control Panel / Add-Remove programs.
* Manually delete the game folder or saved games in your case.

3. Clear any references to the game leftover in your registry using:
http://www.webmasterfree.com/regcleaner.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.
