I have Windows Vista and i want to remove OpenArena. Where are all the files of OA? Is it sufficient to delete all folders? And what is with the modifications like Defrag?

I think you have to remove (1) the installation folder (it depends from where you unzipped the downloaded files, for example c:\OpenArena 0.8.1, or c:\program files\OpenArena, or maybe on your desktop...), and (2) the configuration/autodownload data folder, that -unless you specified a different one- is %appdata&\OpenArena... under Vista it should be C:\Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\OpenArena (see also DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/FAQ#Where_are_the_configuration_files_saved.3F]here). Mods are inside subfolders of those folders.

I don't know if there are more files or settings around. I just take a quick look the the Windows Registry (regedit) of WinXP, and there OpenArena seems to appear simply in the "history" of programs like the zip manager and recently used files...

Afaik OA doesn't save anything to the register. Just get rid of any shortcuts you made, the install directory and the config directory.

But why'd you wanna uninstall it Cry

Maybe you should ask for help to get it work instead of an uninstall.
Usualy all of the folks here are neat and help as much as they can Smiley

if it says 'opengl subsystem not found' you probably either don't have accelleration, or you do but sdl is stupid (i like to bet on the latter for killing off voodoo2 support and screwing up mouse input while sdl fanboys go in a war against my view like i'm an idiot who is making this stuff up)

asking when OA3 will be done won't get OA3 done.
Progress of OA3 currently occurs behind closed doors alone

I do not provide technical support either.

Is this addressed to me? I don't understand what you want to say.
