Hi From Australia,
I bought the 2005 board games disc for my dad when he first started using the computer....he loves the pool game...only problem is - we had to take the program off the computer, which we did through the window's add/removes files option. Now when we try and put the game back on, it keeps coming up with Game already on computer. Now I've tried doing a search on windows for the odd hoyle file and still it doesn't help...has anyone else had this problem!? is there a way to fix this? HELP!!!! my dad is driving me crazy!! I think he's having withdrawals from not being able to play it.

Many thanks,
Sal.

Hi Sal,

Problem

While attempting to install an Encore or Sierra game, you receive an error message which says, "You already have this version installed"

Solution

FOR ENCORE VERSIONS

1. Click on Start, click on Run, type REGEDIT into the 'Open' box:, click on OK
2. Click the + next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (for WinXP) or HKEY_CURRENT_USER (for WinVista & Windows 7)
3. Click the + next to SOFTWARE
4. Click the + next to ENCORE
5. Delete the folder for the program that your trying to install
6. Reinstall the game

FOR SIERRA VERSIONS:

1. Click on Start, click on Run, type REGEDIT into the 'Open' box:, click on OK
2. Click the + next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (for WinXP) or HKEY_CURRENT_USER (for WinVista & Windows 7)
3. Click the + next to SOFTWARE
4. Click the + next to SIERRA
5. Delete the folder for the program that your trying to install
6. Reinstall the game

Warning: Editing the registry improperly can result in computer failure. Please back up all important files before editing.

NOTE: For WinVista and Windows 7, you will not see a + to click on. Instead, click on the right arrow.
