I downloaded the demo file for Moto GP 2, and when I tried to install it, it
installed a program called coinpro for windows!!!  I have no idea why!!

I deleted the program through the uninstall feature, then I re downloaded
the file from another site.  No difference.  Still installs 'Coinpro for
windows'.  This is the dambdest thing I've ever seen!!!

Any idea's???

thanks

   Sounds like some promotional tie-in.  Or some new spyware.  I'd head
over to the spybot site or the adaware site to see if it's a know spy.

Very weird... I installed the demo, then bought the full version and
didn't have this happen. I just looked at the Add/Remove Programs from
Control panel and also looked in the program files directory for a
program called coinpro and it isn't there.

Thanks for the reply, the only thing I can think of is something in the
registry of a previous
installation, but who knows.
You bought the game, how good is it?  Is it worth buying?

thanks

I wish the multi-player component was a little more robust (it really
shows its console roots), but that's really my only gripe. The extra
tracks are really nice. For 20 bucks, it's a deal.

Same here.  No extra programs were installed when I downloaded the demo.
