rid of AOL now having problems

[Ray Dupont]

after 9+ years finally got rid of AOL. Cannot now do
voice chat in internet explorer (yahoo group)....while
running parallel "thelink.net/internet explorer" and
having aol on the machine hitting chat or hyperlinks would
open the aol screen which i was not using or connected
to!!!!" or hyperlinks in outlook express. my bars at the
top of the screen still show "microsoft internet explorer
provided by america online" and the spinning A for AOL are
still there. my isp has been trying to help, but nothing
has worked yet. can i uninstall explorer and outlook
express and reinstall? do i need to? How do i?
I really really don't want AOL but have no idea how to
create the environment for explorer and outlook to work
properly without AOL.
Thanks for your help!

First off to Repair your IE installation (hyperlinks from OE don't work
indicates a wrong library version)...

Select the Start=>Run menu option and copy and paste the following

rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance

press OK. Then select the repair option.

To remove the AOL branding....

Select the Start=>Run menu option and copy and paste the following

rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear

Hope that does the trick... Happy surfing.
