Can't uninstall GTR !!!
 
Can anyone help me with removing my old GTR installation completely?

I've just bought the game, but it can't run since the old key I used still somehow is in the system. Please advise....

so let me get this correct, you have just bought the game but the version you used to have is still in the system? Is that what you are saying?

joppe 15-04-2005 03:01

Yes, thats what i'm saying. I got the files here from gcw, but never got it to work. But somehow the uninstallation didn't remove the old key :(...

I think we know the story.

Let me try :P

"I downloaded the game and tried it, I liked it now I bought it with my hard earned cash, but somehow the old key is in the computer somewhere and keeps trying to use it. OMGzor how can I play with my legit game now"

:P


Try looking in the registry.

Goto START> RUN >Regedit

In new window, browse to the following

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
(GAME PUBLISHERS NAME or GAME NAME)

Perhaps in there you will find the old key, just delete the entry or the Game's entry completely not the whole HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or SOFTWARE one :P

Or delete the old game folder, and check your My Documents folder incase anything there was left behind.

use "regedit" in command line

delete in windows reg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\SBDT AB (there is the CD-key)

Personally I would have let him figure it out himself!! But I guess thats why I am known as 'Grumpy'!
You say the Warez kiddies annoy you but then you go and help one? :confused:
Give them nothing, take them nowhere! ;)

Grumpy 15-04-2005 03:59
