How can I completely wipe out all traces of HOI in the regristy, including core and such.

Look at the self help sticky thread. #1 Uninstall, is a hot link, it gives more detailed instructions.
As for CORE I have no idea, you would have to ask them.

Yep, sorry. On the C.O.R.E project I am clueless. Wish I could see your machine. I know I could troubleshoot it if I could see it, and at least eliminate any other issue than a mem leak from the mod. If its the mod, I can't help other than to say wack the whole gismo. 
A mod consists of a collection of events etc using commands made available from Paradox. It's not like we are modifying the hoi.exe file.
I am not really suposed to help with support for mods, however, is there a possibility one of the events is causing some kind of loop?
As I said. I really doubt it has anything to do with the mod. I reformatted D, put JUST HOI ON. Still slow. Its NOT Core.
That comment was addressed to Steel, Who is one of many that has had a problem when CORE was installed.
Castellon,
I suppose its a bit like back-seat driving. You "know" you could drive if you were in front, and sometimes it seems no one appreciates your desire to help! (Hey, just because you can't see out the front window as well as the driver...).
Steel,
I know guy. However, sometimes something unlooked-for can take place when you have macros set up that the folks testing the patch did not look for. Doesn't matter whether it is in the coding of the exe file or anywhere else. All I said was that I am clueless on the mods for HOI. While I use mods in EUII, I don't use them in HOI (haven't had time yet!). Based on what Burris is saying, it can't be the Mod unless there is a ghost in the reg from another drive. Uh... Wait. Burris, have you checked the registry on your other drives?

I do appreciate the help..
I really really thank you guys for your help. its just frusturating when you can never complete a game becuase it becomes disturbingly slow. My latest belief is a sound card that is in my system that has been rather bothersome. It could very well be it.
Caused an error when I tried it earlier (Something about directsound, later today ill try removing it completely, but I have some important stuff to do involving sound at this moment)
Diabling CD and Sound card failed.
I print screened my device manager list.. I hope this will help you guys out.
(I know the CD is disabled, but thats intentional)

I meant, do you have PM enabled. I know there have been some problems with this. example something on your sytem goes to sleep when it is not getting the correct activity signals.
If you save your game, then reboot the computer, then imediately load the game where it was slow before, is it still slow, or is it better.
If it is still slow, this would eliminate a PM problem.

I am jumping into this thread a bit late, but the description of the problem seems very familiar. Earlier this year I had similar problems with Age of Mythology on my system (VIA Kt266A chipset + ADM XP1600+ + GeForce Ti4200 + SB Audigy II)
When the battles heated up (aka, the game had a lot to handle at once), the system slowly but surely grinded to a halt. At first, the pauses were hardly noticable, but gradually (over a period of an hour or so), it would become utterly unplayable.
I since then have investigated the problem, and for my system have found a solution. Maybe that same solution applies here as well.
First off, when swapping the Audigy II for an aging SB Live! (together with drivers, of course), the problem seemed to disapear. Secondly, swapping the Audigy's WDM drivers for the VxD ones also seemed to eliminate the problem. I emphasise seemed, because, as it turned out, I was fighting symptoms rather than the cause. The proof came when I tried to install Soldier of Fortune II. The system froze solid during the installation process.
SoF II's installer does a lot of things at the same time. Copying data from CD to HD, playing music + voiceover and showing moving video. That got me thinking. Maybe my chipset got overloaded, so I downgraded from the busmaster IDE drivers to the vanilla PCI IDE drivers. Sure enough, the installer would finish now. However, during gameplay the system would still freeze on occasion.
Comparing the setup of my Athlon with my aging Intel Celeron (and 440BX chipset) reveiled that the latter didn't have any mobo drivers installed (no IDE, no AGP), so I tried this on my Athlon rig, and ditched the VIA 4in1 mobo drivers. My system has behaved rock solid ever since
NeverWinter nights no longer locks up during HD access. Civ3 no longer freezes when retrieving sound from the CD, SoF II no longer locks up, 3DMark2001 can reliably complete both the benchmark and the demo, and Age of Mythology no longer exhibits the grinding to a halt problem.

Interesting. Based on his Device Manager list he has an SiS chipset; I don't know if their drivers can be removed like VIA's drivers.
