I have a game that when I open it to try to play it A box pops up saying
"Deleting 1 item(0 bytes) from Roaming
(C:Users\[MYNAME]\Appdata\Roaming)". Although there is nothing that it
is deleting. The box just stays there until I ctrl+alt+delete it. And
when I do that it is listed underneath my games name. What is this? The
game isnt' even located in my Roaming folder. Help.

Hi jesslm85--

1) Type %temp% in either an IE address bar or the run box and select all and
delete as many temp files as you can.

2) Try a system restore point prior to this behavior.

3) Uninstall and reinstall the game if it is an installed game. It sounds
like it is.

Best,

CH
