reinstall darkspace after doing a FULL uninstall (uninstall, delete darkspace folder, install)

when they grey out like that, it means some files are missing/corrupt.

just run the darkspace installer. I think it will uninstall automatically if theirs a copy of DS installed.


if not........um........just delete the directroy and reinstall

#1 Rename the /data/ directory /data2/, in the DarkSpace directory.
#2 Run the installer - select 'Repair'.
#3 Delete the /data/ folder, and rename the /data2/ folder /data/, in the DarkSpace directory.

The reason the play/update buttons won't light up is because of missing regestry keys - which means your OS has been re-installed.
