I uninstalled GP3 the other day and when I tried to reinstall it it wouldn't recognise that it needed to be installed. It continually tried to uninstall itself. I have tried everything I can think of but nothing will work. Has anyone else come across this or have any suggestions. PS : Jacques Villeneuve in 2001.

IMPORTANT******************** Before you do anything in the registry, EXPORT a copy to a folder. That way you can restore it if you screw up....

I tried that and took out the stuff from regedit and it still didn't work. When I would reboot it would be back in the same place rrevved <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Sat, 23 Dec 2000 02:12:30 GMT, "Spencer Kanen" <[email hidden]>wrote: > > >I uninstalled GP3 the other day and when I tried to reinstall it itwouldn't > >recognise that it needed to be installed.

No it came back when I try to reinstall. When I try and reinstall it tries to uninstall instead and then the registry is back rrevved <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Sat, 23 Dec 2000 19:52:41 GMT, "Spencer Kanen" <[email hidden]>wrote: > > >I tried that and took out the stuff from regedit and it still didn'twork.
