I am having the same issue with flip works, a Free Rides Game. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate it dearly. Thanks

in order to uninstall the game properly, you may need to first reinstall the game. After reinstall, it should be a matter of going through add / remove programs to uninstall it.

the problem im haveing with that is when i insert the disk in the drive the menu the pops up only asks me if i want to play to uninstall...nothing about reinstalling the game...which is why im trying to get rid of it somehow

Take a loot at this post and follow the instructions:

thank you for the help..but one thing still stands in my way lol...when i look for the program after i install it..i have to go to program files and then the folder then start it up..when i start it up it automaticlly lists the programs on my computer...thats all great ..but.....when i scroll through the list of programs...viva pinata is not on there....so what i did was i went through and double checked if was even still on the hard drive..and yup sure enough it still lists it in the add/remove hardware list...so im still stuck lol

[starjax]

all that means is that the program installs via its own executable and not an msi. I would recommend that you delete the viva pinata install folder. once deleted you should be able to reinstall and uninstall to fully remove the product cleanly

[lordartex]

ok cool ill give that a try and let you know what happens

[lordartex]

ok im at a complete loss...the is not a file for the game in my program files or in the windows file(checked just to be sure) but its in the add/remove programs list still so i have no idea what to do

[starjax]

I think this is a Microsoft games game... So try looking here;

c:\program files\microsoft

you might just look for vivapinata.exe or something like that using the search function.

If its just the add /remove programs entry, we can remove that by doing a registry edit.

[lordartex]

ok nothing in the mircosoft games folder..or the microsoft.net folder...we can try to registry thing if it will work...im just at a loss because if i put the disk in it asks me to play or uninstall...if the files wernt there wouldnt it say anything else

ne 1? lol
