uninstalling ain v5.9

[Steven Wabik]

i put aim v5.9 on vista. when it was first installed on the pc it was
working. now vista says it is not compatible and that there r lots of issues
with certian files. how do i get rid of it. the uninstaller is having
issues. i would like to know how to get rid of AIM. well right now its
working. aim seems to be unstable/ its like every other time it works or it
doesn't. please help. is there a better IM client that i can use?

Yes, there is a better client. AIM has a brand new console for interface with
AIM Triton. I believe it is a beta programs, but if you're participating in
the Vista beta program you should be fine. All of your buddies will be
imported when you install. The Triton download can be found on the homepage
at aim.com.

As for uninstalling, you say AIM is working OK? If it is, just tell it not
to turn on when Windows starts. That way you can just ignore it.

Another alternative to AIM is GAIM. I just downloaded it and successfully
installed it with no problems. Give it a try:

I have tried installing 5.9 and triton, they both stop installing at approx
70%. I left one over night, and it was still sitting there the next morning.
Thinkin about looking for another program. Maybe GAIM.

Yes, GAIM works with Vista.

May I also add that GAIM isn't nearly as bloated as AIM Triton. Why is AOL
software of any kind bloated these days? No wonder why they're losing
customers. (At least I think) I've been using high-speed Internet for four
years now and would never go back to dial-up.
