Ok. Mabinogi was working fine up until yesterday on my laptop. Then the launcher asked to update. I updated it; but an error message popped up and said that "Installation Failed".
So I uninstalled the launcher first, then re-installed it. I went through the computer files to make sure the entire launcher was un-installed. Re-installed it from the site, then tried again.
Installation Failed.
So I tried to un-install the game Mabinogi. But it wouldn't work. I tried to un-install from the launcher first, then I went into the file location and tried to delete the files. It kept saying only an administrator can delete the files.....But I AM logged into my admin account. How do I delete these files so I can re-install if the files won't recognize my admin account as an admin account?

Yeah, I noticed you mentioned that in another thread, so I did make sure that the above file was deleted.
I tried moving the folder, but this is where I found something suspicious. It said that the file was still open in another location. I restarted my computer, brought up the command prompt, and made sure the launcher (or anything labeled Nexon/Mabinogi) wasn't running in the background, but I could find nothing. I tried moving the folder again, and it again said that it was open in another location and would not be moved.
I panicked a bit and tried to do a system restore. I have a restore point with a windows update on Jan 10. I chose that, waited, but when it came back it said the restore failed, which is making me a bit more panicky. I'm going to see if I can choose a closer restore point. I really hope that my computer isn't damaged or broken from something, which I'm really starting to get scared of.
I did do both of these. For "Edit 2" I made sure that the launcher was closed out and wasn't in the command prompt when I tried deleting the folder.
"Edit 3": I did see that option in the launcher and tried running it. It came up with the same "Installation failed" message as all the other times. I also tried to uninstall it from the launcher; it took a suspiciously short time, and though the "Play" button changed to "Download", I could still easily find the game files in my computer (C:). That's when I tried to delete it manually and came up with the problems.
Ah oh no!
I'll have to mess with the game later; for now, I'm starting to panic that my computer has some kind of virus or is broken. If it is, I'm not sure I can afford to replace it. O~O
I...am not sure what exactly happened. Perhaps I picked up something nasty on Friday which impacted my computer?? Everything seems to be fine though. I'll run a scan just to make sure. The only other thing that I find unusual is that when I brought up Chrome (after the restore and properly deleting the game), my adblock extension wouldn't work and was listed by Chrome as being corrupted. I went ahead and deleted it. Adblock was working before I did the restore. Coincidence? I'm not sure.
Thank you for helping me out though, Hardmuscle! I really appreciate it so much. Ah...and I'm sorry you ended up accidentally uninstalling the game while trying to help me. I hope it didn't give you the same trouble as it did me to re-install it. ;-;
Ahhh that does not sound good at all. I remember I had an issue where my computer was shutting off randomly; it ended up being the hard drive had gotten damaged and had to be replaced. It would make clicking noises as it was running too. I hope that isn't the case though; maybe scan hardware to make sure because replacing parts isn't very fun.
Ah..either way, I do hope you get it back up and working~!
