What does that message say?

Have you tried a System Restore back to a date/time before you installed this game?

Can you tell more.

1. The game you downloaded, was that a cracked game on a P2P-site like limewire? Or an official paid copy?
2. What exactly did you do when you "tried to take it oud, deleted, extract it" and what happened?
3. What is the exact "message of service pack two"? What service pack?
4. Why not simple let it stay on your hard disk and not run it, if you can't uninstall it?
