Win Disassembler

[bellarubyroo]

I am looking for a Win Disassembler download. I recently installed a game from my hard drive, which required the CD and therefore did not work. I now have the CD, and have removed the copy from my hard drive and uninstalled it, but on trying to reinstall from my cd, it keeps looking to the hard drive. I am trying to find a download which will disassemble windows ME into assembly language so that I can remove the game completely from the computer, and install it freshly from the CD. Does anyone know where I can download this from?

Check your registry for left over entries. An install will not change the source code of windows. (It can't!) If there are no entries in the registry, it may have possibly replaced, say, a dll or some file, which is doubtful. I'm pretty sure there is a key in the registry pointing to the hard drive. just dig through there a bit.

Hello,

what you plan to do is impossible.
First of all, Windows is about 20 million lines of source code, both C++ and assembly language. In pure assembly you'll get even more.
So do you really want to get through more than 20 million lines of source code ???

Second, installing a game changes absolutely nothing in Windows code. Well, that would be the most dangerous thing that could be. Nothing changes Windows itself, games etc. are just programs for it.
Well, of course all games require a special version of directx which could be installed, but that's not game-specified and has nothing to do with your problem.

Anything that is changed is in the registry.
