Hi. I went to uninstall my Civ IV because it was in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Games, and for the Europa Europa mod I need it in C:\Program Files. So I went to the add/remove programs list...and there was no Civ IV. I searched for my hard drive for the files or .exe, but only the My Games string came up. Now I'm worrying that I can't uninstall it, ever. Help?
 
Try reinstalling it in the original location (C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Games). If that works, look again in add/remove programs. It should be there. If that doesn't work, please post again.
 
I can't even reinstall it. When I put either of the discs in, it just asks me to play.

So, put disc 1 in the drive. When it asks you to play, select Exit. Then open Windows Explorer and go to the drive that contains the Civ 4 disc. Double-click on the file setup.exe and see what happens. If you're lucky, you might now be offered the chance to uninstall the game. Otherwise, you'll probably be able to reinstall it.

Please post again if any of this is unclear or if you need further help.
