Uninstalling/ installing problems

**Aenima** · January 18, 2009, 03:21 PM

I always end up doing something stupid with a pc. So i tried to install a sub mod but it didnt work, so i decided i should uninstall the entire medieval stuff and get it reorganised next time i install (folders were all over the place) but some reason i couldnt properly uninstall it, so i tried to delete all of the folders and hope it would let me reinstall it.

Thing is that I still have all of it installed on my pc but the folders just dont exist. When i try to uninstall them it says that some file is missing- not surprising, i deleted all of them! Any advice with these? Really stumped, appreciate what you guys can suggest, cheers

Maybe a registry cleaner like Eusing might help.

try ccleaner

Yeah, I'm using CCleaner myself and have a lot of success with it.

cheers, ive just downloaded ccleaner but i honestly dont know how to use it (not great with computers as youve probably figured out

) anyone know a place i can get a 'walkthrough' with using it to delete specific programs? cheers

Maybe try http://www.ccleaner.com/help/tour/1-after-installation

And always make backups.

thanks man, repped

EDIT- ive got medieval 2 back on but im having trouble with kingdoms- its clearly not on the pc anymore, since ive removed it from both the folder and with ccleaner, but it doesnt let me install it from the disc as it still says its installed! any tips again? cheers

Press win+r, type "regedit" and press enter.

Then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SEGA and try deleting everything with "Kingdoms" in its name in there.

And remember, you're doing it at your own risk. :-)

haha fair enough, but cheers again for the help, glad to have it all back on in one piece.

btw, do you recommend checkin the add on boxes when installin SS? i find that its generally a bit too easy and ive heard that they not only make it harder, they make it a totally different game.
