I just got this game (it%26#039;s a win 95 game) for my computer. I currently have windows vista, and now I cannot uninstall the game. I tried their telephone number and website, but both are no longer in service. I am just wanting to get rid of the thing, it was all these trial games, and nothing worth keeping.
Here is the README:

SMASH100.EXE is not shareware or freeware. By purchasing
this CDROM, you have been granted a license to use the
program with this disk. This software is provided

I.Installation Problems.
(All references to C: refer to the drive where windows
is installed. D: refers to your CDROM drive)
1) SMASH100 is written using Microsoft(R) Visual Basic(tm) v3.0.
Microsoft(R) and other Visual Basic(tm) custom control (VBX) makers
insist that to preserve the license of these controls
they be installed in the Windows\System directory. Many
shareware or other programs do not follow these guidelines
and hence are in violation of the distribution agreements for
these controls. In addition, they cause problems for those
who do follow the rules. In order to maintain the license
agreement, SMASH100 installs the Visual Basic controls from
each of the programs included on this CD ROM to the
Windows\System directory during the setup of SMASH100.
If during installation or operation of the SMASH100 program
you encounter %26quot;cannot copy%26quot;, %26quot;Invalid property%26quot;, or %26quot;Invalid
file format%26quot; messages or any other problems, please perform
the following steps.
1. Exit Windows
2. At the DOS prompt enter the following commands:
copy c:\windows\*.vbx c:\windows\system
erase c:\windows\*.vbx
3. (optional) type: dir c:\*.vbx /s /p
Locate all vbx files and copy them to the windows\system
directory then delete them from the original location.
4. Restart windows and reinstall the Softkey 100 Smash Windows
Games CDROM by choosing
file/run from Program Manager or File Manager and type d:\setup
In addition, some programs copy VBRUN300.DLL and other VBX files to
other areas besides Windows\System directory. It is advisable to
search your entire machine for VBRUN300.DLL and delete any occurance not
in your windows\system directory before installing Softkey 100 Smash
Windows Games.
This can be done by using the FileManager%26#039;s search under File\Search.
2) In the unlikely event that the setup routine fails, manual installation
can be done by the following instructions: [Remember, this is ONLY as
a last resort, and should not be done until ALL other options have
been tried and have failed.]
1. EXIT WINDOWS
2. At the dos prompt ( C:\%26gt; ) type:
C:\%26gt; CD \
C:\%26gt; MD \SMASH100
C:\%26gt; COPY D:\SMASH100\*.* C:\SMASH100
C:\%26gt; COPY D:\SMASH100\SYSTEM\*.* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
C:\%26gt; COPY D:\SMASH100\SMASH100.INI C:\WINDOWS
C:\%26gt; COPY D:\SMASH100\SMASH100.HLP C:\WINDOWS
3. If your CDROM drive is not %26quot;D:%26quot; then edit the SMASH100.INI and
change the line %26quot;Path=D:\%26quot; replacing D: with your drive
i.e. %26quot;Path=E:\%26quot;
C:\%26gt; EDIT C:\WINDOWS\SMASH100.INI
4. Restart Windows and create a Smash 100 group and
icon in Progam
Manager by following the instructions below:
1. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New
2. Select Program Group option and click Ok.
3. In the Group Name type: Smash 100
4. Click Ok to create the group.
5. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New
6. Select Program Item option and click Ok.
7. In Description, type: Softkey 100 Smash Windows Games
8. In Command Line, type: C:\SMASH100\SMASH100.EXE
9. In Working Directory, type: C:\SMASH100
10. Click OK to create the Icon.
5. If you have further problems, please read the notes above.
3) DISK SPACE - SMASH100 takes up less than 1 megabyte of hard disk when
installed on your computer. During installation, Setup.exe copies
about 500K of files to a temporary directory. These files are
required to install SMASH100 but are deleted after the setup is
finished. It can require 2.5 megabytes to install. If you get the
message that you do not have enough free space to install SMASH100,
move some files to a floppy or decrease the size of your swap file
until you have completed the installation then you can put them back.|||Too complicated, try Perfect Uninstaller and everything goes easy.
Files and registry all wiped out.
Perfect Uninstaller apply for both Windows and Vista.
