Delete C:WHDLoad and the startup scripts in S:. Unless you have something really funky with your system it's not that complicated an install.

Then download the user_small archive from the website, that's all you need. :)

What does the tooltypes for the game icons say?  Should be "C:WHDLoad".

Did you install something like the developer version?

If you extract the contents of the main "WHDLoad_usr_small.lha" file (the one you should have installed), either on your Amiga or on a PC (using something like WinRAR), you'll see it's literally only the following files:

S:WHDLoad-Startup
S:WHDLoad-Cleanup
S:WHDLoad.prefs
Docs - various documentation files in different languages
C:WHDLoadCD32
C:WHDLoad
C:RawDIC
C:Patcher
C:DIC
and some icons (.info files) for each of the above three drawers

Deleting all of those items will completely remove the program from your system.  Unless you installed some incorrect version or your system is really messed up in other ways.  YMMV.  Did it work correctly before you installed whatever it was you installed most recently?  Good luck!

That's the wrong version.  All you need is WHDLoad_usr_small.lha.  I'm not in front of my Amiga right now (and surprisingly, WinRAR can't open .lzx files), so I don't know what it contains.   In any case, judging by the file size it's a lot more than you need.

You didn't answer the question about if you view the game icon info - is the default tool correctly set as C:WHDLoad?

Are you running OS 4? That might've helped to know. :angry:
