I cannont uninstall or remove "Games Gallery" games
Ballistics, Giants.
The uninstall.prg returns 'cannot find/load file' type of
messages when I try.
Similar result when I try "Add/Remove" from Control Panel.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi Johnboy,

Sometimes those issues can be easily solved by
installing the game over the existing one, and then
uninstalling it using Add-Remove programs.

In order for this to be effective however, you would
have to install the game to the same directory as before.

The Uninstall entry in the game's "Program Group" also uses the very same
routine as the Control Panel "Add/Remove Programs". If one does not work
then the other will not work also.

As to correct this following Jimmy S.'s solution usually allows us to remove
the game. However, if it still will not allow you to remove the game, then
you will have to search the Internet for the manual game removal
instructions, if such instructions exists.

Y.
