|
| One thing, I got the Regclean and it ran and 'fixed my registry problems'

| them?? Have I missed something?
|
| Grateful for any help as my daughter is badly missing being able to play
| this game.

|| Hi JerryL,

|| Here's how to uninstall a game when using Add-Remove programs fails:
||
|| Step A: Start your computer in Safe Mode by holding down the F8 key.
||
|| Step B: Reinstall the game to the same folder it was installed to originally,
|| and then try to uninstall it again using Add-Remove programs. If
|| that fails, delete it's folder and any save games in My Documents.
||
|| Step C: Install and Run Regcleaner and if it finds any stray registry keys for the
|| game, delete them:
