uninstall Ironstorm ARGHH

I am ready to shoot this game. First it will not play, and at the forms for this game, it looks as though I am not alone.
But my real problem isn't playing the game, its getting rid of the game! It will not uninstall!
So I tried to re-install it, then uninstall it. NO-go.
I deleted it, re-installed it, then tried to uninstall it_Nope!
You have some options at the setup window, modify, repair, and uninstall.
If I try any of these all it does is lock up (not the whole PC, just the game). I go into task manager
and it "not responding". So I do an end now, and repeat the process.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
If I have to del the damn thing, what is the best way to insure that I get it all? Out of the registry etc...

I am on XP Pro

thanks

Pick your System Restore point before you installed the game.
When it reverts it will get rid of it.
Since it will also eliminate anything else you've installed after that date do your backups now.

There is a handy tool I use called Un-Install Pro. It's freeware, you can find it at download.com. With it, you can choose to either run the un-install program, or hit a button and delete all the registry entries; then, all you have to do is delete the folders and shortcuts.
