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

    Hmm, you might want to try posting your question Here

    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?

    I would make sure to uninstall Rome and BI and then reinstall Rome on it's own.

    Is that what your trying to achieve?

    Why does GBB always go to extreme measures when it comes to technical issues... Formatting Hard-Drives and deleting things straight from the registry...
    And why is he now a Foolish Horseman?

    Sorry for being off-topic and all.

    Hehe... Raz, its because i experiment with OS's all the time, modding stuff and registry editing etc, and it is 2nd nature to me, althouhg maybe not to others.

    And im a Foolish Horseman because i foolishly ordered a cavlry unit on m2tw to attack 6 units of spearmen :( i shamed myself.
