Oblivion won't uninstall, Disk won't read
I've been having trouble with Oblivion for awhile now and wanted to reinstall. The game used to run fine, but recently the disc was having trouble being read and now will not register with my computer at all. This issue is unique to my computer (the disc works fine for others) and my other games are running in top shape.
What's more, I cannot uninstall the game from my computer using the prompt in the loading menu, as I get an error message saying "Oblivion Launcher cannot find the uninstall program. Run Setup.exe on the install disc to uninstall." The Add/Remove programs in my control panel does nothing, though I can still run uninstallation of the official added content (Orrery, Vile Lair, etc.). I am currently running no mods on Oblivion.
I planned to use Revo Uninstaller Pro, but my free 30 days has run out and I can't afford the program.
So, bigger and brighter minds than mine, how does one uninstall a program that cannot be uninstalled using a disc that cannot be read? Any ideas would be appreciated. Many thanks!
