pennmom, but I Removed it using the Add/Remove Program. Does that mean that I still have to clear the Recycle Bin? I thought Removing a program deleted everything, game cache, etc. Obviously not?

@pennmom, OK, I cleared the Recycle Bin on the desktop but, as the game wasn't there, it didn't do anything; the CE still opens. Is there another Recycle Bin somewhere that I have to clear? It doesn't really matter, as I'll play the CE, but I'd just like to know in case this happens again ...

Well I give up on the Great Wall...it just keeps downloading an 86 bit game...for no good reason. The original I bought yrs ago..would have only been 32 bit..and now I have a 64..I just keep getting an application error..and a 'memory cant be written'error..or a cant find the DLL (whatever the heck that is ..bwahhha...non techo here)..so I cant play that if it wins. Both games played perfectly on my old 32 bit puter..and I dont remember getting a visual studio ++ prompt back then either!! Bugga!!

OK, joybelle, I've changed my vote to Magical Mishap! Cheers Mate I'll play The Great Wall again on my own as I remember how much I loved it the first time! Cool Dancing

pennmom, I restarted my computer and the Recycle Bin is empty, and the game isn't listed in the Add/Remove Program list. As far as I'm aware it's gone. But when I try to play the BFG SV game, up comes the CE again! Ripping Hair Out But on another note, possibly related ... I also deleted Royal Envoy 2 ... it's not in the Add/Remove Program list, no icon, empty Recycle Bin ... and yet every minute it opens up! And it's driving me insane! Bat To Computer Any idea why these 2 games, which I've removed all traces of ... but it seems not! ... keep on opening up????

pennmom, Thanks! Happy Girl I found the game in the GH Games folder and deleted it from there ... although why it didn't delete from there when I deleted it using the Add/Remove program, I don't know. GH said that it was a new one for them, too, but that it probably happened because there was a corrupted file somewhere, so it didn't delete properly. But since I deleted it, it hasn't tried to open again. Cool Dancing But I still don't understand why it kept on trying to open. It hadn't been deleted properly but why was it continually trying to get me to play or buy it? THAT I really don't understand! Rough Day

pennmom, I still haven't worked out the Building the Great Wall of China CE/SV problem but, as I said, that one isn't a major problem as it isn't constantly driving me crazy, like the other game! Ripping Hair Out Nor does it affect me, as I'll play the GH PE. But I still don't understand why. It may remain one of life's unanswered questions ...

Hi All, I am also never, ever played a Time Managment Game, but as I am total into witch's (wondering why, because maybe sometime I am a witch :-)) I would prefer this one. But I am just wondering, pennmom , do you think the SE version would play on the Mac with big Sure? Funny I can not download it to try, it just shows me buy!

I just noticed that, it's weird because the CE version has a trial??? It is a 64 bit game and it's fairly new so I would feel confident saying it would work but you could always try the demo for the CE version to see if it works it would have the same gameplay...who knows, you may love this game so much that you join the rest of us Time Management junkies in our addiction! Has anyone seen my Steam wishlist thread? I'll play anything that grabs my attention!

joybelle , I have the great wall of China 2 and I am the same as you I cannot play it on my 64 bit machine , works fine on my 32 bit but it is so slow, really slow booting up so do not really wish to use the 32 bit machine. I have the other games too but found the witch one, although a good game, too easy, just my opinion

I was concerned because the Royal Envoy games are quite old yet both work fine. I do have quite a few playrix games some go back as far as 2008 and all play fine on my 64 bit machine yet a lot of my older games will not play

Why don't we play both of them, so that our next Group Play game is already decided? Pick one to play this week, and then we can all play the other one next week. Cheering
