Last night I downloaded the Career Expansion Patch v5.0, so I could use more teams in my Manager Modes. I figured "Hey, lots of leagues, this'll be cool". I downloaded it, I didn't like it, so I uninstalled FIFA 08 to get rid of it. Keep in mind that uninstalling FIFA 08 is
their recommended method of uninstalling the patch.
So today, I reinstall the game, and CEP is still there. I exited the game, deleted all of the CEP files and restarted the game. Same result. I uninstalled the game again, deleted the FIFA 08 directory in My Documents, and then reinstalled it. That left me with the FIFA 08 squads and ingame kits, but everything else was from the CEP - the menu flags, the background images, the minikits, everything except the added leagues.
I did a system restore to yesterday afternoon, before I had downloaded the patch. FIFA 08 kept giving me an error message when I tried to start it, so I repaired all of the game files. The game started again, but the CEP flags, images and minikits were still there. I deleted all the CEP files in the Recycle Bin, and then I deleted the FIFA 08 directory again. CEP was still there. I uninstalled the game -
again - and then reinstalled it, deleted the the directory for a third time, and what do you know - CEP was still there.
Now, from the official CEP 5.0 FAQ page (see
here) it says that the best way to get rid of the patch is to completely uninstall the game. I've done that three times already, and the thing still won't go away completely.
Can anyone help?
