I’m having problem with uninstalling AIM. well when i first downloaded Aim i had the version above (5.9.3702)….it was working good, recently I installed the version 5.5.3415 from one of the web site’s and didnt like it verymuch so when i went to uninstall the ‘Aol instant messanger’ it would just freeze my computer and then i would have to restart and when i try to uninstall again it gives me error message saying that it needs to shut down. i would just like to knw how to completly remove aim from my computer….help plzz
go to Add/Remove programs in control panel. Find AOL and click on the Change/remove button. then go to c:/program files/AIM and delte the aim folder. that should completely remove aim from your machine.
yea i tried that already when i do that it first freezes my my computer and then i hav to restart….is there any other way to get rid of it?
Well, you could go C:/Program Files/AIM/ and there are some uninstallers in that folder. I think they are called like Uninstall95 and Uninstall AOL instant messenger. If that doesn’t work then make sure you didn’t delete the AIM folder in Program Files before you went to use Add/Remove because if you remove the program folder before using Add/Remove or using the uninstaller things like what happend to you can happen.
I Tried that too nothing happening……
well i have two files with uninstall info….
Uninstall AOL Instant Messenger <—does the same thing as b4
uninstll<—-tells me to unistall from ^ file (uninstall aol instant messenger)Thanks for the help thou
Try reinstalling AOL Instant Messanger from http://aim.com . If your uninstaller got crupted, this should fix it by reinstalling the installer file.
yup tried this like 5 times already…….just did it a min ago.
I wasnt able to log on so i had to reinstall it again.
Thanks for the help thou
No prob… You could try to contact AIM about this. I think they would be the ones to know the answer to this problem. You can go to their website, I think they have a thing where you can e-mail them questions and stuff.
did try that, but they said they dont reply but they just try to make a bug fix in their programs…….not too sure it was way bak
Thanks
Hmm… If that did not work, I really don’t know what to do, sorry. I use AIM my self, but I’ve never had this kind of problem.
