Game Installation Help

I recently tried to install a game and something went wrong and I hit "End Task" on it and now it dissapeared, but it's still on the system.

When i try to install it again I get the message "Game is currently being installed" like it's still in the process of being installed.

How can I completly clear this game off my computer and restart?

Can you see the program in Add/ Remove Programs in the Control Panel?

Also, find the file it was being installed to and delete any of the stuff in that first.

HTH

If this is WinXP, just do a system restore.

I looked in the Add/Remove programs and it wasn't there. I looked for the file but wasn't exactly sure which one it is becuase I don't know where it went to.

Yes this is XP, how do I do a system restore, and what exactly does that do?

It restores your system to an earlier date. Click Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore

Choose a date that was before you tinkered with it. You recently saved files won't be deleted or anything, but programs you've installed after the date will be uninstalled.
