Do you want it back on your system or are you trying to get rid of it totally?

Many Thanks

Find the program in the Start Menu, Right Click on it and Go to Properties. Then click on the "Find Target" button.

Then the folder the files are in will apear. Try Deleting that folder.

See if it works :)

its probably due to an error in uninstalling the applications. the name of the applications remain in the Add/Remove Program list and sometimes is undeletable.

To remove it:

1. go to Start---> Run...
2. open your Registry Editor by typing regedit.exe, then hit enter
3. go to HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\UNINSTALL
and delete the strings that unable to remove from Add/Remove Program i.e the name of your game.

try that, restart computer, then install again.

Use TweakUI to remove the app name from the list.

I'm not sure if this will work but worth a try, to reinstall the game, browse the CD (right click on the apropriate drive and select "Open") for the install file (probably setup.exe) and double click it.
