3 months ago I attempted to manually remove Battlefield 2 from my computer as it would not uninstall (at the time I thought I had done a good job of the manual removal). 3 months down the track when I attempt to reinstall Battlefield 2 I discover I cannot re-install the game. I am now trapped in limbo and it's very annoying. Could someone please tell me how I would go about doing the job of completely removing Battlefield 2 from my computer so I can re-install.
