Guest BruisedEggplant Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I find myself suddenly unable to uninstall certain programs, even ones that are listed in the Add/Remove Programs menu. There is one game in particular that is not functioning properly, but when I try to remove it, it loads the install shield and the progress bar, then hesitates for a few seconds, then shows a message box stating that the requested maintenance has been performed. No matter what I try, I cannot get these items to re-install either. -- BruisedEggplant An Eggplant Gone Bad...
