Hello,

Just a quick question. I went to add/remove programs to get rid of all the unnecessary programs installed in my computer. Some vanishes in a click. Some programs refuse to go away. An example would be Soldier of Fortune demo. I've already uninstalled the program but as soon as I try to get rid of it through add/remove programs, it pops up an error message saying it can't find the correct path or some sort.

Any hints?, Ideas?

ahha ya, basically what you did was un-install it with the un-installer that came with the game, correct? Well Add/Remove programs sometimes doesn't know that, so when you go to un-install it with Add/Remove programs too. It can't find the un-install pack that came with the game, and it freaks out. lol I have no clue how to get it off the "Add/Remove" programs list though.
