SH3 (VISTA HELP NEEDED)

HI EVERYONE!!!!
It's been quite awhile since I've played sh3 and decided to give it a try after all this time.

I saw the post about the StarForce App that lets you play sh3 without the disk in the drive so I uninstalled sh3,gwx,sh3commander,patch 1.4b,etc. from C:/A1GAME. I don't install my games in the vista Program file. When I tryed to reinstall sh3, I get a menu thats says, Modify,Repair,Remove. I assume that means there is still leftovers of sh3 on the harddrive. I erased C:/A1GAME file to start with.

1. uninstalled starforce and checked Device Manager ; it's gone
2. removed sh3 from data apps/virtualstore
3. removed sh3 from windows/prefetch
4. removed sh3 from C:/windows/installer
5. used regedit to registery and removed sh3

I've tryed to reinstall sh3 with same results. Modify,Repair, Remove/ menu.

My first computer was a Apple II-e and been playing games ever since. Usually can figure out gaming problems on my own, but this one has me stumped! Any help is greatly appreciated !!!!!
