I have purchased Hidden Path of Faery. It has appeared in'my
games' but does not seem to have downloaded. I cannot find it on my screen where the others are. Also I am having problems playing games as they do not open every time.

How to delete WildTangentHelperService completely out of your PC? I uninstalled the program but still cannot delete it. It said it is opened in another app but still can't find any app opening it!
