Viper Racing demo help

by The Johnson Famil » Wed, 28 Jul 1999 04:00:00

I got a CD with the Viper Racing demo on it in the mail and I installed
it.  I uninstalled it a few months later without using the "Add/Remove
programs" thingy in the Control Panel.  Now when I try to reinstall the
demo it says "Viper Racing is already installed, uninstall Viper Racing
before playing."  I hate games that try to be smart and do this to you.
Is there any way around this message?

I really love Viper!

So this is the loan for the cruelty of throwing Viper out of your
harddisk!!! ;>)))

When yous  say: "I uninstalled it ... without using the "Add/Remove
Then, I think you have to search your windows-registry for all entries
related to "Viper Racing" or even "Sierra".
Remember to backup your user.dat and system.dat files first!
Otherwise, if you really love Viper, why would you only want to play the
demo?

I tried this, it still doesn't work...I guess I could go buy a copy (I've seen
used copies on Ebay for $10-$15) but I'm too much of a cheapskate. : )
