My PC only has 256 mb of ram. It also has a pentiam 4 2.53 ghz processor. My graphic card appears to be an: Intel 82845/GL/GE/PE/GV graphics controller.

Anyways, I'm looking for action or RPG games from the last 2-3 years that will still run on a system like mine, I know most need 500mb, but I don't have that. Just wondering if there are any newer games out that I can play..

He's right; that's what CCleaner is for. Try going down to 'Tools' and make sure you click the 'Uninstall' button. Look for the game in that list; if you find it, click 'Delete Entry'.

If you can't find it (or it doesn't work), we can move on to editing the registry directly.

Well..it didn't work, so how do I edit the registry directly?

[QUOTE="Andrew0987"]

so uninstall the game from add/remove programs :roll:

why would you just delete the folder?

kodex1717

He likely won't be able to uninstall if there are no files.

Download CCleaner and go to the 'Registry' part (the blue cube). Click 'Scan for Issues' and it should find that you've got and it'll search for superfluous registry entries. If it asks you to create a back-up, put it somewhere you remember. After you do that, click 'Fix selected issues...'. After you're done with that, you should be able to reinstall.

I tried this, ran the cleaner several times..still can't install.

My friend who claims to be good with computers..said that this process would involve deleting key files from the registry which he says is "complicated" not sure if that is right or not..but i dont wanna have to re-install windows just for this.

The game I'm trying to re-install is Blood Omen 2. I've had the game on my computer before so I know it works fine with it. The problem is last time I finished playing, I simply deleted the game folder instead of actually "uninstalling" the game. The only files I kept were my save files which I put in another folder.


Now, when I try to re-install the game, it just gives me the option to play the game, not to install it. Now I searched my program files folder for any files for this game I overlooked and needed to delete, but I found nothing. I also right clicked on the drive the CD is in and hit "explore" to see if maybe I could install the game with files off the disc itself. This also did not work as it just popped up the "play the game" screen.

So, what do I do? How do I re-install this game? I'll note I intend on starting the game over, so I don't need the save files..so if I need to delete those I will. If it isn't the save files, what should I do?
