You should have no problem from what i can see. You can play it but windows wont recognize it being installed.

If you format the drive with Windows on it, then you'll be cleary the system's registry as well. Therefore, when you reinstall Windows, it will not know that NWN is installed - or any other things that have not been installed after you reinstall it. So I don't think that the game will still run, not too sure, just what I think about it.

You can still play the game. But it wont show up in things like uninstall, or ask to play game in MSN.
You can add that manual to the registry. if you want.
But why not just uninstall NWN? and reinstall when your done?

No need to voice such accusations when you haven't got any proof.
Please be civil.
