Thanks Scott!
When I did a reinstall, it offered me the chance to uninstall, so on the second effort, I did. After the uninstall/reinstall the result was the same. I'm going to be loading it onto a new laptop later this afternoon so it will probably work fine after that. If I wasn't going to do that, I'd probably do another uninstall/reinstall and go through the process of removing ALL references from the registry and any connected files on my system, but that would be a lot of work to do if it's not necessary (I hope it's not).
I see people talking about steam often. I looked into it once, but I walked away from my investigation completely baffled about why and how I would want to do that. Is there any documentation out there that makes sense to someone who is not an avid gamer?
Keep swingin!
