Curious Artila Exodus13 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 For some reason, none of the game's in the Exile trilogy were working on my computer, so I deleted them. Now, my Start Menu ends below my screen, and the last row is "cut off." This happened immediatly after I deleted Exile III, so I assume that had something to do with it. I am pretty computer inept, so if anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. EDIT:I forgot, I re-downloaded Exile but for some reason it wouldn't install. Now I can't delete it. A message comes up saying that it's being used by another program, even though I deleted everything else that came with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Try putting your mouse cursor at the very bottom of the screen. It should change to an up and down arrow. Click and drag up. Chances are that you have the Exile game open but minimized and that's why it won't let you delet it. If you press Control-Alt-Delete together a box should pop up where you can choose to end the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Exodus13 Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 Up and down arrow isn't appearing. No Exile game open either. EDIT:I have WindowsXP, if that makes any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 As a general rule, you shouldn't delete programs except by following an uninstall procedure. Otherwise bad things can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan ef Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Bad things have happened. Try to repair your WinXP, if your computer has such an option. If not, you'll have to reinstall XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Exodus13 Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 Well, I restored all three games, and now they work. Go figure. Anyway, Start Menu is back to normal, sort of. It is still lower than it should be, but nothing is cut off. I'll remember that uninstallation thing. Should of known better. Thank you to all that responded. (>)>|====> Warrior Kirby is pleased.

Tenderfoot Thahd Darkpaladin Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 If it helps at all this much later try fooling around with the little buttons on your monitor (they should be there. . .) and make the picture come up a little.
