How to un-install SC4 patch?

[Nuclear550 3]

Hey everybody! I was wondering how you un-install the patch at Simcity.com http://simcity.ea.com/update/index_update.php?product=EP1&x=31&y=16 .After I installed this patch, the game started to give me a lot of graphical errors such as smudging smearing etc. Thanks!

Not sure it would be possible without actually re-installing the game. What type of graphic issues are you having? Installing the patch often resets the game's Graphic Settings to "Low". This could create an unusual game appearance. Check to be sure the settings are on "High". Otherwise, posting an image of your issue might help determine the problem...

The only way to get rid of the patch, since it modifies the .exe, is to reinstall. However, it contains some critical patches, so are you sure you got the right one? Your patch needs to match the SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) of the game. This is either in the Program Files folder for the game or on the disk. If you get the wrong patch, the game will act funny or maybe not even run.

Please describe your machine and operating system.

My machine's specs are:

AMD Phenom 9600 quad core

EVGA 9500GT Graphics Card

4gb DDR2

Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Well that certainly qualifies... Also I re-posted the pic since this forum uses something other than tags...

Edit: Either I'm going nuts or the post there was there was deleted...

Sounds fine. Have you played on this machine before?

How much virtual space do you have? with four cores, I would like 8 GB for the swap file.

With that huge machine, what else was running? Some virus checkers have been known to kill the game.

Nothing else was running, I have been playing on this machine for 3 months and nothing like this has happened. After I installed the patch it gave me this error. Also this is my properties for the game:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32 -CPUCount:4 -CPUPriority:high into the file extension

I was just doing some de-bugging and I have found out that it wasn't the patch that was causing the problem at all. The problem was the euro road texture mod by SFBT I downloaded recently from sc4 devotion. Thanks everybody for the suggestions and everything it is greatly appreciated!
