Well if you read the uninstall instructions in that link it explians how to uninstall manually.
When do you get the error?
The uninstall is only if you cannot get the game to install because it only gives you the repair install option.

Not sure I understand what you are saying.
You tried to manually uninstall but could not?
Anyway here is my standard advice to try first.
1) Make sure you have the latest patch for the game.
2) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
3) Set the color depth to 16BIT
4) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
5) Run a Virus check and a Adware/Spybot checker
6) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-4.

Well the videos will not play because renaming the AVI folder disabled them, this was intentional, let's leave them disabled since it eliminates some problems.
Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu –Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select “Save All Information” button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.

Okay two things pop out at me.
1) YOur video driver is way out of date, you should upgrade that ASAP.
2) I am also concerned about the lack of free space on your C drive. This could interfere with many things most notably the Virtual memory, and I sure hope you were running something in the back ground when you ran the DXdiag because you were already using close to half a gig of your virtual memory.
