| | download program did not install I tried to download/install a game from realarcade today. When the installer program was running I got a message that an error occured. I tried to redownload the game and this time I got a windows message that files were corrupted, try again. I also got a dialog box saying the program might not have installed properly or I could check it had installed properly. I clicked cancel but immediately another box appeAred as if it were trying to install. I hit cancel. My question, where does all the files/programing reside after I hit cancel. Can any of it be left over and be in an incomplete state and mess up anything else? I looked in programs to see if it could be uninstalled but it was not in that list. |

| | Re: download program did not install Use a system restore point back to just before you tried the installation. I download installers to the desktop or other place where I know I won't lose track of it and install from there. I just feel like I know what's going on better. And I always set a new restore point just in case the installer doesn't (supposed to).

| | Re: download program did not install carl, You might need to remove all former traces. See following: Revo Uninstaller helps you to uninstall and remove unwanted programs installed on your computer even if you have problems uninstalling and cannot uninstall them from "Windows Add or Remove Programs" control panel applet. http://www.revouninstaller.com/ karl "carl43m" <carl43m@xxxxxx> wrote in message news 60D35BF-4B64-4607-99E7-A4BB22DE64C4@xxxxxxI tried to download/install a game from realarcade today.
