HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Links 2003\Paths
If that didn't work, I might have tried a 3rd party software to find/replace the installation path in your registry. Perhaps something like the following shareware:

In the end, it was probably just as well to re-install!

FROM THE LINKS WEBSITE. THE GRAPHICS IS A MESS AND HAS BREAKS-GAPS IN THE PICTURE. IT JUST WILL NOT RUN, AND THE SORRY GRAPHICS IS NOTHING LIKE THE HD,WHICH I HAD WITH DELL BEFORE. I HAVE WINDOWS 10 NOW. SOMEONE SUGGESTED THAT THE INTEL VIDEO CARD IS AN INTEGRATED INTEL SYSTEM AND IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH LINKS . THE HP PROCESSOR IS A 4TH GEN INTEL CORE i3, WITH 6GB DDR3 MEMORY, BUT NOTHING IN THE DOCS. ABOUT THE VIDEO CARD SPECS. I MISS MY LINKS! HELP ANYONE???
