Nacht Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Kevin, you left quite a bit of info out of what the problem is exactly. I'm assuming you installed a game to an external HDD (this is kind of a bad idea since USB drives are slow and games run better on your internal drive) and you deleted its folder in the program files directory of this hardrive...now it errors out because you have no uninstall program and you cannot reinstall because it thinks it is already.This is a big problem for you because fixing this can be ugly. The least painful way for you to do this would be to use another computer to reinstall the game in the SAME EXACT place on the drive. Otherwise you will have to use regedit to go into the registry and delete the entries pertaining to the game, which can be overwhelming and also very very bad for your computer if you delete the wrong registry entries.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 First thing I would try if you can recover the deleted folder using a tool like Recuva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
