Removing a Patch

I installed a game on my Windows Vista PC and I downloaded a patch for it.
However, I don't like the patch but I can't seem to locate where it is on my
PC, therefore I can't remove it. I uninstalled the game and installed it
again and again the patched game loaded. How can I find out where it is on my
PC?

RE: Removing a Patch

Did you delete the games folder in program files before re-installing it?
Sometimes it isn't deleted when you uninstall, so things like patch settings
can still be in there when you re-install.

So basically:

1. uninstall the game.
2. check program files for it's folder, if it's still there, delete it.
3. restart.
4. re-install the game.

Let me know if that works.
