Hehe, I know already that this is all my own doing, so I'm determined to fix it too^^... I got this Evil Genius game by Vivendi Universal games, it has worked perfectly till now. I'm not experienced with computers so naturally I wanted to try something which sounded perfect, a virtual cd-tray. I used Daemon Tools Lite for this, after copying the two cds on the virtual tray and installing it it didn't let me use it to play without the cd, and even with the cd it wouldn't function. So I wanted to unistall it all and start from scratch. Daemon out of the way the game wouldn't unistall since the copy must've been imperfect. I searched for the solution here and noticed the "delete the files manually"-thread, and so I did... but now it won't recognize the install-cd of the two-cd-game, and I'm in a pinch, hehe... hopefully someone knows exactly or even something near the right answer to fix this somewhat embarrasing problem^^ Thank you!
