rec.autos.simulators

Guys,
         I downloaded the Viper demo, it looks great, what I can see of it.
When I go to race, after picking the car and joystick(wheel actually)
then hit the race button, it locks up my computer. I thought I might
have a demo that had a problem so I downloaded it again from another
page, and when I tried to uninstall the first one it will not uninstall.
It gives me a message that says "internal error, unable to load or call
external DLL, please contact your venfdor for further info" I then tried
to install the new download of Viper, and it will not install because it
says I already have it installed, even after deleteing it, so then I
took it back out of my recycle bin and left it on the computer. So, I
now have a demo that will not work, no way of uninstalling it, and no
way of installing a new one. I want to try this new demo, but what do I
do?? Please help

                        Thanks,
                        Gary Kendall

Gary,

To get Viper off of your system you will need to go into the Registry
and delete any reference to Viper in there.  You will also want to
delete any reference to Viper on your system as well.

Be careful when you are in the Registry though.  Make sure you are
only deleting the references to Viper under your HKEY_CURRENT_USERS
area.

You can find all the listings by doing an EDIT and FIND for Viper.
This should get it off your system and get you ready to run the new
download.

Gary,

One more thing.  You will find a listing under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Make sure you do not delete the reference to VXD on your machine.
