Is the game an original, or did you download the game or buy a dodgy copy?

This problem has been talked about before so try doing a search.
It may take you a while to find it but the answer is on the boards somewhere!

You can reinstall, you just need to delete the registry keys. Then it thinks that the game was never installed in the first place, if you dont have any save games of configs.

goto run and type "regedit" then goto the following directory.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall
you must then select and delete the folder name below found in that above location:{0DEA94ED-915A-4834-A87E-388D012C8E02}
Then it should install properly. I found that these are the reg keys on a site, so can someone please verify that these are the right ones?

The problem with MOHAA comes to light if you try to uninstall the thing so stick with what smokices says. It's been a while since I had the thing on my system but his advice sounds about right from what I can remember.

if you cant uninstall or reinstall then you may need to format the pc .

ps it could be a hacker placed a virus in your pc and NOT the game ( not the 1st time it has happened )

It could be a gypsy has put a curse on everyone named Smith; but it aint!
This is a known bug in MOHAA and there is no need to format anything.
Smokices tip should sort it out.
The search button is a really usefull tool!!!
