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. dave henrie

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 "Tim O" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Wed, 6 Aug 2003 22:04:51 -0500, "GLeger" <[email hidden]> > wrote: > > >I downloaded the demo file for Moto GP 2, and when I tried to install it,it

Is it worth buying? 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.

No extra programs were installed when I downloaded the demo.
