I am having a bit of a problem on my end that I don't quite know how to fix and am hoping you will.

I installed BGII to a file on my desktop, then deleted all the files (including the uninstall files etc) from the start menu. I then installed BGII ToB to this same file on my desktop, and deleted it's entries from my start menu.
I was editing some .ITM files for karina, then realized that what I was doing was not going to work. I wanted to go back to the original file, but umm, well...forgot what was in it. =(
So, instead I decided to uninstall BGII & ToB then just do a fresh reinstall.
And herein I encountered my problem.
The thing seemed to be working right, it showed the correct messages etc. When I went to reinstall, I got the message "since this is your first time playing BGII, please set the configurations" instead of the expected install message.
I went to my desktop file and found that all of the BGII files were still there except for the config, exe, and the other BGII head symbol.
So, in my "Infinite" wisdom, I went to control panel "Add / remove programs" and tried to delete it there. Once again it gave the right deleting message. But when it was done, the files were still there and control panel still showed it as installed.
I then went and manually deleted every entry of BGII I could find anywhere on the computer hoping this would solve the problem.
When I went to reinstall the game, I didnt get that option. I got "Play", "Configure", etc.
SO, you know, being such a smart? guy I messed around more in an attempt to get the game to uninstall or reinstall (at this point I wasn't being very picky, any kind of change would be nice).
So, where I am sitting right now is....the computer still thinks the game is installed and uninstalled at the same time. Therefore it won't let me delete it anty further or reinstall it.
I can't actually play it because all I get is the message to set configurations. It doesnt even take me to the configuration screen, it just stops running all together when I hit "OK"
Can you tell me what I need to do to correct this situation? I am afraid that I have tried everything I can think of and have come up with nothing. Any help you might have will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
