Help with Roller Coaster tycoon...

Had a look around for you here is a patch I found, says it's for people that have trouble loading the game, even if they do have RCT2 so worth a try:

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 2.8 patch

Fingers crossed ;0)

Well I got it downloaded and I thought it was loading and it asked me for a path name or something so I read the readme and this is what it said and I kinda need help with it.. This patch specifically addresses issues users may be having with the
SecuRom copy protection included with the game. If the game fails to
run after being installed, particularly immediately after the cursor
on-screen briefly turns into an animated CDROM, this patch may address
that issue.
Note that this patch addresses NO other gameplay issues. If you are
able to launch the game now, you do not need this update.
Installation Instructions:
Using your favorite .ZIP program, unzip the RCT2.EXE file into the
folder you installed Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 to. By default, this is
C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. If you
installed into a different folder, be sure to extract to that folder, or
extract into a temporary folder and copy the files into that folder.

Extract the file and copy the resultant files into the game directory. You may have deleted something previously that broke it though, so I would suggest doing a re-install before you apply the patch.

How can I do a re-install? and where do you get the resultant files and where is the game directory sorry im really stupid at CD-ROM games..

[David]

Add/Remove programs to uninstall, then install from the CD.

The game directory is at C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, just like you pasted above...

[Holdem185]

It wont let me uninstall the game..It says it removed it but it still shows it on the add/remove program list
