If your computer has been broken 39 times, then why the hell do you want me to take advice from you? :(

You're probably thinking of Santiago, Chile's capital.

1. Open the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Uninstall.
3. Expand the Uninstall tree, and locate the branch associated with the program that you have uninstalled.
4. Delete the branch.
5. Close the Registry Editor, and restart the system.

You can't go wrong.

If you really don't want to use a registry editor, try any of the buttload of registry tools you can find online.

http://www.magictweak.com/download.php <---- Only a trial, but it's got a whole load of system tools, plus the one you'll want.

Not to be picky but deleting the uninstall info wont remove the program, only remove the entry in uninstaller :)

Yeah, the program is gone.  I just deleted the crappy uninstall file that came with it, and the remove programs tool followed suit by deleting the entry for me.

Tadaa, no fly on my screen anymore.

So it displayed symbols because you didn't have the Asian characters installed? If you had the characters, I might've been able to diagnose the game. Well, your problem's solved, that's what's important.

Nope, what's important is that I can now go on playing games, wanking, or whatever in peace.  Except for that guy who always stands behind me.

I know that you already managed to get rid of it, but you ended up using CCLeaner without noticing that it can uninstall software AND remove entries that you can't otherwise remove like in your case.
Just click on Extras on the left panel.

Ah, under Tools, you mean.  Yeah, that might've helped a bit.
