Answer 2

It would have helped if there was an error message, but since you didn't mention one I'm going to assume there was none.

Edit: I'm also going to assume you know how to use Windows' Add/Remove programs function and had already tried that. So this solution presented here isn't the common sense stuff that someone else may post...

Well, when an application doesn't uninstall the most common and likely problem is that the application's installer path is missing or erroneous.

If you moved the game to somewhere on your harddrive that wasn't where you installed it, this would happen.

This would also happen if the game's registry keys were gone for some reason.

Another thing is that most applications install some sort of data other than the registry keys when you install them. This data is typically called the installshield and if it's missing, the program can't uninstall.

Anyway, the problem is not important, it's the solution that is, right?

Hopefully you know where you installed the game, so just delete the game's folders. If you're really obssessive like me, run a search for everything that has to do with the game and delete them, like the start menu and desktop shortcuts and the registry files. EA typically puts game data into your My Documents folder which can get large in size. For The Sims 2, there was like 3gb of data there for me in addition to the core game files.

If you don't know where you installed it, it's probably in the Program Files of your primary harddrive under Electronic Arts.
