    Ok, I downloaded the trial version of Civ IV played it then tried to use a cracked version of the whole game (bad I know :( ) anyway it didn't work so I bought the game, uninstalled the crack version and installed the purchased copy. Now, however when I go into add/remove programs the Civ IV demo is listed as 1,5460 MB as well as the full version of the game and when ever I hit remove for the demo nothing happens. Why is this happening?

    Well, if all you want to do is remove it from the Add/Remove Programs list, download TweakUI from Windows Powertoys.

    Well I mean does that fact mean that the demo says 1,546 MB mean that's how big it really is b/c when I first installed it, it was only 400 some megs

    Not a 100% sure but most demo versions of games usaully only have so many levels/stages and aren't full versions of the game so I'm guessing that's why it was only 400MB's. While the full version of the game is 1546MB's,try downloading CCleaner and running it on the demo and see if that gets rid of it for you.And seeing how it's the same game, the full version files could have been written over the demo files and it was just not reconized that they were seperate files.
