Launching Regedit, I did find a Silent Hunter folder in the "\Software\Ubisoft" section and deleted it. Doing a search for the key you said would be in "\CurrentVersion\Uninstall", I found it ... but not where you said it would be. It was in "\CurrentVersion\ARPCache". I did not delete that one.

Hmmm..."ARPcache"...interesting. Can't say what the different location might signify. Of course, I am using VISTA and that might (probably) be different than other OS versions, XP etc....

Doolittle, stick to your guns, man! PC Pitstop, PC World, PC Magazine and a plethora of others have warned that you use the registry auto-cleaners at your peril. They may do just what they say, but you'll never know unless you manually check it out anyway. Your computer may just refuse to boot. Or they may not really clear what you want cleared.

Only hands-on manual manipulation unambiguously gets the job done. Anything else is little better than wishful thinking.

Agreed. Manual manipulation is always best ... even when it comes to installing SH4 mods.

Thank you, if it wasn't for you all of us hillybilly rednecks in Alabama that game would have never found out how to play!

I wish the gaming companies could fix all their problems before they started selling them
