Usually uninstalling and reinstalling wonky software works. In this

W7,
never a lock up or the "Engine has stopped working" error.Â* The game is
called Fishdom-3 and is supposed to work on W10.Â* None of the
compatibility
setting made a difference.

I uninstalled and reinstalled fresh copies of this game several times but
cannot find anything in the registry to remove after uninstalling it.
It's
leaving something behind.Â* Yet when I reinstall the new copy just
downloaded
from the 'net her info is still there as well as the level she was at
when
the old copy froze.Â*Â* Where is this game hiding this info?Â* Would THAT be
causing the problem?Â* Why would a new copy just downloaded have access to
that info when the older copy of the game was uninstalled?

Where and how can I find where that info is stored so it can be removed?
How can I make this kid happy by fixing this problem?


Other people are having problems with it.

Do you have the "special" windows 10 edition?

You can try downloading the free version of Revo Uninstaller and after
trying one last install, use Revo to uninstall it. I'd use the scanning
mode of "Advanced" and tell it to delete what it finds. Easy to miss
checking the delete boxe(s) and leaving the extra crap behind.

I'd do the above before trying to install the W10 special edition just
so the old and new versions don't get mixed together.

You can find the program at;
