I HAD EXACtly the same probelm when i tried to uninstall it...just throw in the bfv disc 1, when you get the prompt for what to do, go to the install tab. Then, deselect everything in the options on what to install. If when you put the disc in the install is darkened out and you cant click it, just go to run> D:/setup.exe (or whatever your cd drive is) and you should get to the same prompt as i stated before.
