I'm having problems installing VP2.
I used to have this programme on my computer but removed it due to the CD becoming damaged.
I have now purchased it for a second time but cannot install it.
1) I try to run the setup.exe but it gives an error message saying that the game is already on the computer (it definately isn't btw), and tells me to use add/remove programmes to remove.
2) I go to add/remove where 'Virtual Pool 2' is present but when I try to remove I get an error message saying "an error has occured, uninstall cancelled"
I have used First Aid 2000 to check the registry and have removed 3 incorrect references to VP2 but still the same errors.
I suspect that the problem lies in one of two places;
1) The fact that Virtual Pool 2 appears in the add/remove when it isn't even on the computer. How can I correct this?
2) There is another registry entry that First Aid didn't find.
These two could infact be the same thing.
Thanks in advance.
AS.
PS. The last thing I want to do is ring the infernal helpline and explain that lot.
