Yea but he has installed the games on the new formatted hd so all the folders etc are there.

I'd remove all the games via add remove programs, then delete all folders associated with the programs and last but not least I'd do a regedit and delete all registry keys associated with the games. A word of caution: If you've never used the regedit function you can really bugger up your puter so always make a backup of the registry before tinkering. After that go to a DOS cmd prompt and do a "chkdsk /r" and reboot your puter - this will take a while depending on the size of the HD.

After that try to install one game at a time and work out the bugs before installing multiple games that won't run. Perhaps if you stick to one game you're trying to install the help here can nail down the problem.

Good luck!
