files. It says cannot open Install.Log. I've deleted them before throught
the control panel
but this certain one and one from Games I can't delete. I can't figure it
out or where to go to find it but control panel. Thanks.

Might have to get a registry cleaner. It could be the game files were
deleted manually so the add/remove programs won't be able to properly
remove the installed reg entries.

You could also install the game again from the original setup files, then
uninstall it from add/remove programs. that should clean everything up.

Try downloading CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com) and run that. It has a tool that
will clean it out of the registry, as well as allow you to remove it from
the program list.
