Try going to the game's home folder and look for an uninstall entry there.

If perchance it was written to not use the registry, there may not be

anything to do but delete certain folders: Check the gam'e documentation for

ways to uninstall it.

you might try uninstalling

it via safe mode.



if all else fails, simply

delete the parent folder

and run a registry cleaner

called eusing.



it will reconcile the registry

keys to the file system and

any remaining keys/orphans

will be removed.



the above manual steps will

complete the removal of that

program.

If no uninstaller is available at the game vendors web site for it, use

this program.
