Have you tried re-installing rome over the top of the existing installation?

The install on the menu is grey so i can't click it and it won't let me reinstall it or play both games.

Hmm, you might want to try posting your question Here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=36)
Someone there might be better equipped to answer your query.
I don't really know what to suggest, short of deleting all the files manually and then deleting the registry entries. I'm stumped.

Heh, I assumed he'd tried that already, doh!
Have you tried manually deleting the files, and the directory itself?

put the disc in and click uninstall ont he launcher, if that doesnt work, go into regedit (type reg edit in run) then find the corresponding bit and delete the files

That sounds about right mate.
I would back up your registry before doing anything though. Just in case :smiley2:

If i uninstall barbarian invasion RTW won't work! How can i play RTW? Should i uninstall RTW then reinstall it?

I would make sure to uninstall Rome and BI and then reinstall Rome on it's own.
Is that what your trying to achieve?

Yeah but i've never got close to achieving it without you guys. Thanks.

No problem, let me know if you need anything else, and I'll try my best to help.
Why does GBB always go to extreme measures when it comes to technical issues... Formatting Hard-Drives and deleting things straight from the registry... :inquisitive:
And why is he now a Foolish Horseman?
Sorry for being off-topic and all. :shame:
