mombodog.. thanks for the reply! The problem is that the RS3 disk recognizes that there's some file of the game left on the computer so it won't allow me to do a reinstall, it will only allow me to do uninstall... thus I keep getting the error message... sorry the URL didn't work in the link above, here's the working link (message on left is when I click uninstall, message on right is after I click OK). http://spe.atdmt.com/b/TUTRU1234TRU/waitingsultryeyes_300x300.jpg So... as a possible solution... the game is installed on my other computer. Could I copy and save the game's file located in the program files to a DVD-R and then transfer it over to this computer, load the file, and place it in my program files? Would everything with the game run correctly then? Thanks.
