I was in the middle of installing Civ 4 when my laptop froze up and I had to do a hard reboot. The first CD finished installing but I didn’t get a chance to put in the second one. So now I have a problem, I put in Disk 1 and it only gives me the option to Play the game, not install or uninstall. There is nothing in the “Add/Remove” I can uninstall and putting in Disk 2 does nothing.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

Go into your C drive and open the folder called “Program Files.” Somewhere in there will be a folder named “Firaxis.” Open that folder, and you’ll see a third folder named “Sid Meier’s Civilization 4.” Delete it, then see if you can re-install.
