i had recently installed a game cricket2002 but my mistake was that i did not uninstall it infact i deleted it from my hard disk now the problem i am having is that since i am trying to reinstall that game i insert the cd into my cd rom but instead of the installation page the uninstallation page appears ok i succesfully uninstalls the game but when i go to the add remove programs i find cricket2002 right there and when i try to install the game form my cd again the uninstall page appears and uninstalls the game but there is no change in the add remove programs and therefore i cannot access the cd cuz it is only uninstalling the game without installing it again and again and i bought a new cd of the game but the same thing is happening so anyone please help me

Go into the registry and use the find feature. Type the name of the game and press 
find. When it finds it delete the entry. Then press the F3 key on your keyboard to 
find the next entry. So on and so forth. Make sure you back up the registry before 
you mess with it. You can also use the windows search for anything relating to the 
game. There may be something in a shared folder.
