    Default Help me I uninstalled and cant reinstall

    I have 4 mods downloaded for rome/bi xgm xgm diadochi forth eorlingas the new shadow.

    I uninstalled RTW Bi then RTW then Patch 1.3 I used the add/remove programs.

    The shortcuts for the mods stayed I thught they were going to be gone after the uninstall I tried deleting the shortcuts but then it said I would have to go to add remove programs to get rid of them. I couldt find the names in add remove programs.

    So I tried reinstalling rtw but the autorun wouldnt work I went to my computer and clcked on the rtw icon that had appeared over drive f it didnt work.

    I first asked in xgm forums and was given these instructions to fix it

    4) Click the "+" next to SOFTWARE.
    5) Click the "+" next to The Creative Assembly
    6) Right-Click to delete the The Creative Assembly entry.
    7) Click the "+" next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
    8) Click the "+" next to SOFTWARE.
    9) Click the "+" next to The Creative Assembly
    10) Right-Click to delete the The Creative Assembly entry.
    11) Close the registry editor.

    Once the registry keys are removed, we'll need to remove the game files from your hard drive. These instructions assume you've installed the game in the default directory.
    1) Double-click My Computer.
    2) Double-click the C:\ drive.
    3) Double-click Program Files.
    4) Double-click Total War
    4) Right-click on the Rome: Total War folder and choose delete.

    Remove the RomeTW.ini file from your hard drive.
    12) Click the Start button > Find (or Search) > Files & Folders.
    13) Search your C:\ drive for a file named RomeTW.ini.
    14) The file should be located in C:\WINDOWS.
    15) Delete this file.
    16) Reboot your machine. At this point the game is completely removed from your system.

    Have you installed it on your 'f' drive rather than the 'c' drive?

    What is the 'f' drive on your PC.
