Hello Gerard, are you trying to remove the program via the un-installation icon located in the battle star galactic folder, if there is one? If you are, right click on the un-installation icon and go to "Properties". Once the properties window opens up, click on the compatibility tab and then tick the box where it said "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and then select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
Once you have done the above, also make sure that you tick the "Run this program as an administrator". Then click "Apply" and then "Ok". Now try running the un-installation process again.
If you have already done the above, have you tried uninstalling the program via the "Programs and Features"?
If you type in "Program and Features" into the start menu search bar and hit enter, you should then be presented with a screen that lists all of your programs. Click on the appropriate program and then click on the "Uninstall" button.
