I'm wondering on how to get rid of a game. I got the Survivor game on a disk & was playing it before my comp crashed. Got a brand new harddrive & that game is still on my comp. It is listed in my "add or remove" section. When I clicked on remove, It couldn't do it becuase it was either invalid or corrupted. A friend said that I can reformat everything but not quite on how to do it. Would there be something I do to get the game off my comp? System restore can't do anything. Thanks

TigerCat: I have no idea really, but I just got a new hard drive as well, and I thought that it was like a whole brand new computer, with absolutely nothing left from the old hard drive?

Did you save any files etc and bring them back after installing the new hard drive?

Czuch: Didn't save any files...the tech person re-installed everything from Dell. Haven't re-installed the game tho. That is what I thought as well, when you get a brand new hard-drive, you'll start off brand new w/ nothing left from the old 1. Not even sure how or why this particular game stayed.
