----------------------------------------------------
I've uninstalled it via Impulse, numerous times now, even rebooting it when it asks me. with each re-install i ask it to find updates.
Everytime i start up the game its in the windowed form and the tabs can't be pressed so that i can take it back to windowed mode. or even change the resolution.
