Greetings,

Here's how to properly install or reinstall a game (and patch):

Step A: Temporarily disable Startup programs one at a time, starting with
Firewall, Antivirus & AdBlockers using this method:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796 or this utility:
http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php Reboot, go to
Step B.

Step B: In Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs, delete the game and then
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 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.
Regcleaner Download:

Step D: Play a single player game, using an administrators account if
necessary.

Step E: Download new game patches or mods in case the old ones are
corrupt.
Double click the patch/mod to install it. If it's a .zip
file, unzip it into the
game's folder and follow the instruction in it's readme.txt
file.

Step F: Reboot your computer, verify that your game is working properly,
and
re-enable any programs that you disabled using the method in
Step A.

Thanks and best of luck!

Hi Jose

That was a pretty good write-up about how to install/reinstall. I need one
clarification regarding your recomendation of Regcleaner. I read somewhere
before that it it is not too safe to use it as one must carefully look at
what it recommends to delete, and one has to be knowledgeable about the
Registry to use it. Just to delete en block what it recommends could put the
computer into further problems.
Regards
