Uninstalling a game

Post by Joes2Silly »

I have GTA San Andreas downloaded to my computer, and I have modded the game a bit and lost the original files. No problem, I thought, I'll just uninstall then reinstall the game. Nope, I can't uninstall it. Im almost positive its the mods. What would be the best way of dealing with this?

PS: I want to get it back to normal because my game file with the highest completion dosent work with the mods

Let me see if I get this...

You pirated GTA San Andreas, broke it, can't get rid of it, and want us to help...

Sure!

Go to My Computer, Click C:, Program Files, Then find the folder that GTA is in and delete that folder.

If you have no clue what I'm saying: Switch to Linux.... srsly

Do that, then delete everything in the registry about GTA SA.

Just deleting it's folder in Program Files & popping the CD (or ISO) in & plicking the "repair" radio button should do it.

Jes2Silly: If you haven't got it yet, do what everyone here has reccomended. Do you know how to search the registry?
