Hey,

Just install the game again, EXACTLY the same as you did before (same game folder, same components installed to your hard drive, etc.).
Then go to the "configuration" part of windows (I guess you have XP) and go to "software". Click on the remove - button (the upper one of several large buttons), and search in the appearing list for that game. Select it, and click on "remove" (at the right of the name of the game). Now will windows remove the game from the register, though some components might not be removed. If lastmentioned is true, then just remove those items (e.g. the game folder) manually.

I hope I have helped you with this

!

EASIER WAY.

Remove it from your registry.

You can either do it through start>run>regedit and browse to the key itself, and delete it

or you can get a freeware registry cleaner program and have it do it for you.

Deleting it from the registy manually is not advised unless you have prior experience and to be honest what you save for the risk is minimal, probably only a few kilobytes.

Easiest thing to do is delete the desktop shortcut, folder within program files, savegame folder (probably in your 'My Document' folder or equivalent) and then the folder in the start menu.

Reboot, then download a utility called CCleaner and run the clean up tools and the registry checker.

Any problems, just ask away! :thumbup:
