Problems with installing Borderlands
Well I installed Borderlands, and opened it after finding its exe. I closed it soon after to find another installation saying "Validating Installation". I closed it after thinking I installed it twice by accident. I tried to open the game again but it said it couldn't find certain files. Then I tried to reinstall it but when I opened it in external disk it sent me to an uninstall or repair page. I tried both but the windows just froze. So I tried to uninstall it in the uninstall or repair part of the control panel. Since I was in the middle of something else I turned off my laptop. Later I just removed the 2K Games folder by putting it in the recycling bin and emptying it. I went to try to install the game again, but it takes me to the same page where it says Repair or Uninstall. I tried both and it stops due to an "Error 1721". I googled it and got stuff like this:

I did what they said and it still doesn't work.

Check your graphic card if it has dirt on it it blew up or it might be because the computer is too slow i would get a new hard drive with more RAM
My hard drive has enough ram and my graphics card is acceptable by the game. I actually ran it before I closed the installation.

Sorry for the double post but I downloaded a program called "Advanced Uninstaller: and removed everything related to Borderlands. I'm re-installing it right now, but if I have any problems in the near future I'll be sure to keep this thread open.
