Hellacool Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I jacked up all my keyboard commands and joystick commands (don't ask). The keyboard only shows up in a few spots to allow assignment, the rest are unavailible. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled figuring it would reset everything. Wrong. Somehow it retained the messed up controls and all my settings. After installation I completely removed the Eagle Dynamics folder. There must be hidden files somewhere. How do I get a clean install?
EtherealN Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Actually, I'm fairly certain that there are no hidden files anywhere, and other people with similar symptoms have resolved the issue precisely through reinstall. I would suspect that the reason might be found somewhere in DirectInput or similar - that is, you didn't break the BS command files, but rather broke something in either profiling software or DirectInput. Some more information about your hardware and peripherals would help in making a call on that. DxDiag output would ensure that there are minimal followup questions (see the sticky thread "Help us help you" in this forum section).

Hellacool Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 I found that there are hidden files per se'. I am using Windows 7 64 Bit and Win7 (And Vista I think) do not always install directly to the file location you think it does. I found under C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86) are folders for some games. The AppData folder is hidden. Once I deleted the Eagle Dynamics folder from here, a re-install worked fine.
airtom Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Looks like you have UAC on. First thing I always do when install Windows, I turn this feature off. This will save you a lot of time with identifying problems...
