It sounds like your game program didn't get fully installed but it is trying
to run, thereby hanging up your system. Try booting into the Safe Mode.
Look it the Start Up folder and see if it is being run from there. Delete
it if so. If not, it may be in your Registry. Make a back up of your
current registry and do a search for the command that runs that game.
And/or open msconfig | startup and see if your game is listed there. If so,
delete it. Or try a System Restore to put your computer back in operation.
Your problem illustrates the value of a program like GoBack or Rollback.
They both use a portion of your hard drive to keep snapshots of your hard
drive so you can "go back" to a previous condition. That includes
EVERYTHING, not just your operating system files like System Restore does.
When I have a problem like yours I invoke GoBack on bootup and return
everything to the way it was before I did whatever screwed up my computer.
