Just delete the Stainless_Steel_6 folder in \Medieval II Total War\mods\
That should do the trick.

Did you run the official uninstaller for MTW2?

**KSI Crusader 7x** · February 18, 2010, 01:38 PM

KSI Crusader,

Let me guess are you by any chance using Windows 7 or Vista? If you are it is stored in different places, let me know I will find out where.

Is your version a disc or is it a Steam Version?

**KSI Crusader 7x** · February 18, 2010, 02:01 PM

im using vista and it is a disc version

**Navajo Joe** · February 18, 2010, 02:07 PM

KSI Crusader,

Have a look in this file, see if you find any reference to MTW2 and delete:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\...\Medieval2 Total War.

Also try a registry clean that will remove any unwanted files.

If this does not work, I am sure you will be back.

it doesnt show virtualstore

**Caesar Clivus** · February 18, 2010, 03:48 PM

**KSI Crusader 7x** · February 18, 2010, 04:04 PM

**KSI Crusader 7x** · February 18, 2010, 11:03 PM

I think you're going to have to post this in the general M2TW tech help section to help you with this. If you want I can move the thread there for you.

**KSI Crusader 7x** · February 18, 2010, 11:15 PM

You have a multitude of problems going here. First off reference this thread and find out how to uninstall M2 manually - I'm afraid it's your only option after waging a scorched-earth campaign on the game. It sounds like you have a grasp of how to use RegEdit so this shouldn't be a problem for you.

Since you're running Vista be sure to search for the Appdata folder and delete the Sega folder within it. A simple search using the Windows search function should point you to the correct folder.

Are you running any kind of crack or CD-fix on this system? It would help to know. Good luck!

**KSI Crusader 7x** · February 19, 2010, 05:12 AM

well i fixed it, i installed it and started playing again, i missed a folder in the regedit -__- lol, thanks for your help i will keep that for future reference in any case this happens again =)
