trayne20 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 My son wanted to suprise me one day when I was at work by loading Morrowind on my computer. He thinks that he choose to load it on the C drive instead of the Program Files. When it loaded it send files all through my computer like Java, Windows XP folder just to name a couple. Well, of course the game will not work. I tried to Roll-Back to an earlier date and that failed. So I went through the files on my C drive and removed all traces that I could find including the Bethesda folder that the game was supposed to be placed in. I even ventured into the reg files. Now when I put the disk in to attempt to load the game InstallShield starts up and asked if I want to load Morrowind I choose yes then another window opens with the option to either Modify, Repair, or Remove the program. No matter which choice I make I get a message saying that the chosen task has been completed. Nothing actually happens though. I also have an entry in the Add and Remove Programs in the Control Panel that I cannot remove or do anything with. I hope I have given enough information. I am usually able to fix computer quandaries eventually, this time I am stuck. I have to much on the hard drive to dump and reload not to mention the lost weekend it would take.P.S. I still love you son, but screw with your own computer, leave mine alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkkavenger Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Hello, if you want to see it disappear from Add/Remove (though some files might stay on the disk ..) give a check in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UninstallBetween the keys should be the intruder.Just delete the registry key (the yellow folder with appropriate name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
