I don't know where the disc is and it requires a disc for uninstalling it. There's a way to uninstall without a disc according to their website, but it doesn't work for me.

Anyone know other options?

Um I have it installed right now and can uninstall it through add and remove programs without a disk...

Im pretty sure that that securom page is for how to RUN the game when you are receiving a no disk error, after the disk has been placed in the drive.

I hate to be this guy, but did you go into control panel, go to the add/remove programs, let it list everything, find oblivion, then remove it from there? That should start the uninstaller, and there is NO reason why they wouldnt let you remove a game from your system.

People actually think I didn't try control panel? Lol.

Go to where it's installed and delete all the files there manually.

Should be your C drive, Program files (x86), Bethesda Softworks, Oblivion.

Easiest solution that I can see.

a friend of mine had this version of the game, what u do is delete everything, and then u manually delete all teh registry crap it leaves behind

 

[GeforceGTS]

lol, I actually thought you had tried

Anyway, is the game updated? Securom up to date too?

The GOTY version does this. I used Revo Uninstaller.

I did this and then ran CCleaner to delete all of the registry crap. Success!

Never been a fan of doing it this way, but I had to this time.

I ran that as well and it told me the same thing.

Game is all over other folders and the registry too.

Manually uninstalling it completely is doable, but it's quite a pain.

If I remember correctly, Revo's own uninstaller still ran afterwards if you used the highest setting and it would take the leftover files and registry items [in this case, all of them] anyway. This was on my last laptop with Vista though, but I haven't had the need to try this with W7, I just use my original disc to install now and the GOTY backup I keep in the drive to play.

It should be possible to un-install the game using a third-party uninstaller. I know that Advanced Windows Care from IOBIT comes with a very decent uninstaller feature. It can even delete software that is partially removed.

You will find it here: http://www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html

I by no means am a pirate, but how about downloading it off torrents of some sort (with no cracks, a complete clone) and then burn it to a disc.

Wow, SecuROM's even a pain in the ass when uninstalling the game. Gotta love DRM!
