...i have done that, as stated a few posts earlier,
but since it evidently that had no influence
on the succsess of the repair i left it out of the summary list.

renaming a folder is technically equal to deleting it from point of view of a installer. But beyond that, i had erased the main installation folder
and just kept&renamed the save game part - in case that
wasnt clear yet from my previous post.

registry clean is always a good idea, but only if you know what youre cleaning.

Btw, I am a IT consultant (usually working on big installations,
unix heavy, Storage clusters etc and _not desktops_ therefore i would always listen to you guys whom may have 1st hand experience)

but due to my work experience i learned to be somewhat
selective enough when cleaning the registry.

An advise to someone on a lower proficiency level
to "clean the registry" without further and precise instructions as of hat keys exactly would need to be removed, is something i view a bit sceptical sometims. Please dont take that personal. My mind permanently question all things. Politics, Business, Integrated Circuits ... you name it.
Maybe thats the german in me :-)

All is good though.
