   hi :)
   i DL'd Golden Prague last week, played it & finished it. as i am trying to save space on my computer until i can get a new one i am deleting all games i have finished & probably won't play again. HOWEVER when i went to uninstall this game it wasn't in my add/remove programs or my Crap Cleaner uninstaller. SO i tried just going in & deleting the folder. it takes about 3 mins of thinking & then decides that i am not allowed to delete the folder. it says i don't have permission.

   any tips on how to get rid of this game? it was fun while it lasted but now....lol

   ~edited because apparantly i can't spell

   Where did you install to? If you are using Vista, you will need admin rights to change certain areas.
   Like program files, and so forth.
   The program is not in add/remove because it is stand alone, it didn't "install" really, you just unzipped it to a folder.

   no, not running vista. & i have tried to delete the folder, as i said above. i DO have admin as we only have one account/desktop on this computer. it is installed in the games folder in my program files on the C drive.

   error message:
   Cannot delete Golden Prague. Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

   Hmm, have you looked for running processes related to the game?
   Sometimes stuff continues to go, even after the main application is closed.
   Use taskmanager or whatever you prefer and kill anything from the game that is running.
   If that doesn't work, try a reboot, that should take care of it.
