I have a problem, I need to re-install the game but the uninstall button is missing so I can't uninstall it and just deleting all the games files deosn't work either. I can't play the game until it is fixed. If anyone has any advice please post it here. _______________ My allie is the force , and a powerfull allie it is.{Yoda} -Proud padawan of Gradius -Grandfather to Quigon Jinn |

Manually delete the folder with the KOTOR2 junk (you might be able to salvage and use save games). Then you can use a program like CCleaner to remove the registry riff raff that's left over. It searches the registry for crap that is left over. You can then delete it easily. I had to do this for a program recently that would not uninstall. Worked like a charm. _______________ - Threat Ex-Unofficial Padawan of Rivian, AKA Chaos Ex-Unofficial Padawan of Phantom Owner of Grycen's 180th comment, Raydoe's 455th comment, and Rivian's EVIL 666th comment! |

your best bet would be to download Regcleaner. It makes it a lot easier (+ safer I think too) Just look for Lucasarts in the 'Author' section, and then find Kotor 2 in the Software section. Select it by clicking it, and then select 'Remove Selected'. That's all there is to it. Of course, do be careful about removing things. _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

delete all game files and then go to start menu and select run. write regedit there. now check HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE software folders for any kotor or lucas/kotor entries. delete them. WARNING!!! : careful about deleting things tho - one wrong deletion and something really important will stop workin. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.
