I felt like replaying Fallout 2, and installed the game today. At first it run just fine, went through some of the Temple of Trials (first area). Then I rememberred I could patch the game!

So I patched the game, and suddenlly it couldn't find the CD. So I thought I'd find a crack. But since I don't know any good pages, I downloaded it from Piratebay instead (took some three hours). Didn't solve it, so I reinstalled the game. Then I remembered I wasn't sure what verision I had (english? US?), so I was to go into game and check what verision it was. It ran the loading screen then... it went back to windows, then nothing... Then I came up with the brilliant idea to check the folder and see if it was anything there. Found this file Uninstallation.log which I thought was still there since the uninstallation. But apparentlly it was neccesary to uninstall the game, so now I can't uninstall it (weeeeee <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />). So I removed the rest of the files too, then I did systemrestore (or acually three systemrestores, which all changed nothing at all), which didn't work. No removed files, Fallout still there (not the files, but the game is there allright!). I found out I can still acces the installguide through "add programs" in the add/remove programs program. So at least I can install the files. But if I uninstall them the game is still there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />. But anyway:

1: How can I get my game to work (again...)?
2: How can I fully uninstall the game?
3: (This one is just bitter, so you can ignore it if you want to.) Why can't Windows realize that if the files aren't there, the game is no longer on that HD?
