Install RTW. There's nothing more you can do.

I know, I've did those things several times when I was a computer n00b. But reinstalling fixes it. And then you can uninstall correctly RTW.

it wont uninstall completely, so how can i install it?the uninstall button is there instead of the install.

that happened to me too and it took forever to get things fixed. what finally worked (at least in my case--i'm not a computer wiz) was when i deleted all RTW components, meaning going to the activisio folder and deleting the entire folder and then reformatting the hard drive. of course, this was easy fo me to do since my computer was brand new and there were no other files but RTW.

how can i track down all the files?i already deleted the activiosion files. how do i reformat my computer?

maybe this helps:

go to your cd drive and and start the setup. exe directly (go not through Autorun)

if this didn't work, try delting the rome registry entries (be carefull don'T delete anything else ) :

"start"
"execute" (the buttun over "shutdown the PC" 'im not sure about my translation of "Ausführen")

type in: regedit

go to: HKEY_current_user

->Software

find: TheCreativeAssembly

delete it

go to: HKEY_local_machine

->software

find: TheCreativeAssembly

delete it

then you should be able to reinstall it again

if not i'm have no idea else....

Have you tried to uninstall it from the Add/Remove Programs function in the Control Panel? That sometimes gets it.

You might be waiting for a while. Why don't you explain exactly what problem you are having with EB, and maybe we can help.

Ahhhh. OK. That "line 631" message usually occurs when somebody installs a corrupted download. Delete your .72 and .74 downloads, and get new ones from our download site.

1) Make sure that you can load and play a vanilla RTW v1.2 game. (If RTW isn't working, then there's not much we can do).

2) If it IS working follow the instructions and install the new v.72 download. Then START A GAME to be sure it works.

3) If it does, then install v.74 and test again.

If the game won't load at one of your three test points, tell us where it failed and what message you received.
