Click to expand...

Try going to the game's home folder and look for an uninstall entry there.
If perchance it was written to not use the registry, there may not be
anything to do but delete certain folders: Check the gam'e documentation for
ways to uninstall it.

HTH,

you might try uninstalling
it via safe mode.

if all else fails, simply
delete the parent folder
and run a registry cleaner
called eusing.

it will reconcile the registry
keys to the file system and
any remaining keys/orphans
will be removed.

the above manual steps will
complete the removal of that
program.
