Yup, you can uninstall, enter the registry editor and search for anything with X2 in it and remove it, then reinstall. Just be very careful using the registry editor, I wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you're doing. You can mess up your computer if you aren't careful. Otherwise have someone who does know what they're doing come over and do it for you.
Cheers.

O yeah Can someone Not just copy there Files Like the Mov T and all them ones Would that not work?
OK this is odd I put a Mod into the Mods folder One that dont work unless u put other stuff in some other folders ( Ithink ) And X2 worked Only thing that didnt work Is the Voice of the computer that tells u what sector u enter and all That is all Messed up. soo this is kinda odd

Again, if you've messed up your installation, the best thing to do is reistall the game.
If that isn't working, you might need to have your brother edit your registry, but I would not recommend doing this unless you know what you are doing.
Those are really the only ways to fix a messed up installation.

At this point, if you've damaged your installation by accidentally removing some files, it's not really a problem with scripting / modding. You might have better luck posting your problem in the tech support forum.
The folks in there are much more able to help you than I am.
I'll move your post there to see if they can help you any further.
My best guess is that if your game will run with the mod selected but will not run without it, then you have deleted some files from your game (which the mod contains). But you've told us that you reinstalled the game and that it still doesn't work, so I'm confused.

If Burianek is correct then you going to need to reinstall again, how ever if you have used the wrong patch your game is X2 (1.3 version) then you going to need to reinstall anyway so either way it looks like you going to have to reinstall sorry.

Please slow down a little and tell us what the actual symptoms are, otherwise we have little or no chance of helping. Before we go any further, we need to know whether your game works correctly before you add any mods and what you mean by "messed up" with reference to the voices.
Incidentally, for the black screen problem see this FAQ entry.

If you instal a mod and then told the game to play with the mod installed a line is written into the registry to tell the game that the mod has been installed.
Deleting the mod does not remove the registry entry.
Uninstalling the game does not remove that registry entry. So re-installing without changing the registry does not help.
Click the X2 icon, select mod, select none. This will clear the registry entry. Start game.
Does the game work? Do you still have problems?

First of all if the voices are messed up then you have not removed all the files between uninstalling and re-installing. Make sure you clean both the game folder and the registry. Second, for the black screen, the FAQ entry I linked you should be tried regardless of what else you have or have not done.
Now, uninstall the game completely, keeping only your savegames. Delete anything else left in your game folder and any left-over registry entries. Reinstall, and apply the just 1.4UK update.
Before you do anything else, STOP and tell us whether the game works and whether anything is wrong with the voices. We can then try the next step. If you carry on doing a whole series of things and then telling what happened in such a jumbled manner, we won't be able to help.

If it froze during uninstallation then you probably have a problem outside the game. You should check that you are logged onto the PC with a user account that has admin rights, and you should run a thorough anti-virus check with an up-to-date anti-virus program. You should then disconnect from the internet, switch off the anti-virus tool and any other external software that is running before uninstalling or re-installing. Remember to switch your anti-virus back on before reconnecting to the internet.
Most of what you need to do is listed in this FAQ entry. If you are not comfortable with editing the registry and think you might delete something that doesn't belong to the game (e.g. an entry with X2 in its name that isn't actually related to the game) then I suggest you ask a friend with a little more experience to help you with this part. You should also check that the game folder mentioned in this FAQ entry is completely deleted.
Do not at this stage go beyond reinstalling the game and the 1.4 UK update and checking that it works normally, and don't start reinstalling until you have checked that the uninstallation worked correctly.
