Is this Downloaded version and for which game HOI2 or Doomsday?
 
Have you tried both the uninstall programs wizard, and a manual uninstall following the advice in the sticky thread on the subject.
 
great.

Mind sharing with us what exactly your problem turned out to be?
 
well to be exact i dont really know how i fixed it. i will tell you the problem anyways.it would not let me uninstall hoi2. i had 2 files that were read only. it was GFX and GFX backup. i could not get them off read only. everytime i tried to maunally delete them it said they were being used by another person or program. when i tried to uninstall them it said catastrophic error and would close the uninstall er. so i tried restoring my computer to an earlier time and then i was able to delete the 2 files. after that i tried uninstalling a couple of times and it worked? it was odd but thanks for your guys time
 
Sounds like you must have had modded files installed.
 
Well it was files in GFX so that could be Stony road files.
