HELP!! Ghost recon patch and no-cd crack ruined my video display

Recruit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recently downloaded the Ghost Recon patch to my computer and I am wishing I had not.

The game played well prior to the patch on my system: a 1.8 Ghtz Pentium 4 with 512 RDRAM, and a 64Meg GeForce3 Ti 200 video board.

However, after downloading and installing the patch, the game wouldn't play. Instead, the display becomes very fuzzy, and is offset so that half of the game is now off of the screen on the left side. What is more distressing is that this has affected the computer, and not just Ghost Recon. Now when I boot up windows, the startup screen has the exact same video problems. Also, my other games are now affected by this display problem (such as Max Payne).

I tried reinstalling the Nvidia display drivers, but to no avail.

I uninstalled Ghost Recon, but this also did not solve the problem. Also, my Windows XP add/remove programs utility does not recognize the GRPATCH as a program that I can uninstall, and I don't know exactly what it did to my system, so I have no clue what to do in REGEDIT.

I might go and buy Nortons Systemworks, to see if it can hunt in my registry for any changes.

I am quite upset, and have emailed UBISOFT to see if they can help.

I am hoping they publish a uninstall utility for the patch.

Anyone have any other ideas?
