    If it shows up in control panel~add/remove programs, you can at this point reinstall it and then use add/remove to get rid of it.

    Otherwise, nearly impossible to figure out all the registry entries it may have made and scrub them.

    If you are running 2K or XP, all the files should have been placed in the game folder since by default, 2K and XP don't allow programs to place files in the windows directory I don't think. You could change settings to remove this protection but hopefully you haven't.

    Are the remaining traces causing you problems?
