View Full Version : Cannot uninstall the game

Hello, I'm new around here!

Anyway, I can't uninstall the game for some reason. Every time I try to do so, a message saying Could not open INSTALL.LOG file would show up.

Why do I want to uninstall the game?

Okay, admittedly... I've installed the Trymedia version, meaning to say that it's the trial version.

I have the full version of the game on a CD, but because the game isn't compatible with Windows XP, it doesn't run properly However, I didn't know about this at first and thought that something is wrong with the CD. Therefore, I tried to see if I can download the game from the Internet and thus ended up with the trial version.

After that, I learned about the game's incompatibility with Windows XP and started looking for ways to get the original full version to work properly, but at the same time, I want to uninstall the trial version, but...

I know that this place only helps people who are playing the CD version, but please at least tell me how to uninstall the trial version. I have the CD, so please help me if you are willing...

Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't really understand why you'd seek support here instead of contacting TryMedia. I can only recommend deleting the files off your hard drive.

You mean to simply throw those files into the Recycle Bin? And do I contact Trymedia from their website?

Sorry if I'm asking the obvious...

Yes, and yes, assuming they offer support for their products.

All right, I'll probably ask one last thing, though this one is somewhat off-topic.

The problem I have with my full game is that the game basically freezes whenever I try to start match. Even worse, it may even exit by itself whenever I try to go to the multiplayer screen. Created teams may even disappear when I return to the game afterwards! Also, the stage editor cannot be used, or so it seems. Basically, nothing happens at all when I try to click anything in the stage editor screen. Also, I noticed that the wrenches in the background move very fast, faster than when I played the game in the past. The same goes with the start up screen (especially that explosion scene)...

I have looked all over the Internet and saw that many people also have this problem, but I want to clarify if their problem is the exact same problem as mine. I still can't find a solution to this either... Perhaps, I haven't been looking or trying hard enough to get the game to work. Is it too much to ask for help here or can someone at least show me a site/forum/board that talks and offers a solution to this issue about this issue?

Thanks in advance!

This is an obvious question mentioned in the stickies, but have you installed the latest Beta update yet?

When I installed the 3.0 patch, the game never come on screen no matter how many times I click on it, and if I use the 3.6 beta patch, I get the "insert CD" error.

I'll go and see the sticky, but thanks for your help anyway!

Yes, so I changed to using only the 3.0 patch, but that results in the game never showing up no matter how many times I click on the its icon.

Please read the instructions carefully. Do not install the patch manually!

To clarify, "patch" = 3.0, "Beta update" = 3.6.29.0
