install and uninstall

[Acer565]

I'm trying to completly rid my computer of all bf2 files so i can get a clean installation in, because i'm having the problem where u cant install or uninstall because of some annoying little registry entries. Anyone know what entries bf2 puts in ur registry and where? I deleted the main 2 entries in the local machine folder, DICE and Electronic Arts, but i know theres more in there because im still not able to reinstall the game. Any Ideas of where those entries are?

*NOTE* I'm having this problem because i crashed out of an installation
