While installing my new Civ3 it froze at about 60%. When I opened the autoplay and clicked install it gave be a list to either modify, repair, or remove. Since modify anf repair did nothing I decided to start over. I click remove and the bar zoomed from 1 to 100 in one second and delteded nothing. When I went to the Civ3 folder and deleted all the files I still got the same message when trying to re-install. It says would I like to modify, repair, or remove your current installation. I even did a search on my computer and deleted all files and it still happens. When I go to add/remove programs the same message comes up. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

When I go to run and type in C:\Program Files\Infograms Interactive it says it can not find 'C:\Program'.

That's probably because you deleted that folder already. You need to edit the registry entry (start at the point in the list where it says :'Removing the registry key' ) Ie:

Removing the registry keys
Click on Start
Click on Run
Type REGEDIT
Press OK
Click on the plus next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Click on the plus next to Software
Click on the plus next to Microsoft
Click on the plus next to Windows
Click on the plus next to CurrentVersion
Click on the plus next to Uninstall
Right-click on {0AD84416-63A4-4CF3-BDDF-8FA866711FB0}
Select Delete
Click on the File menu
Click on Exit

Do you see any number there? Can you post a screenshot of what regkeys you have in that registry folder?

I have a bunch of numbers but not the one I am suppose to look for. I don't think I can take a screenshot in registry editor.
