I downloaded aim and it doesn't let you chose what to install so with aim I got the aol toolbar. I have tried to disable it by right clicking on my toobar but it isnt listed and to uninstall it i would have to uninstal aim. so how do I get rid of this interference. it only bothers me when I click on a link and it opens with the aol toolbar instead of my yahoo tool bar. I never use aol so how come it does this.

I agree with the other answers, however there are a few other things you can try if it doesn't work.\n\n(1) In IE, go to the "Manage Add-ons" section from Tools -> Internet options -> Programs tab -> Manage add-ons button at the bottom. From here, you can choose to enable/disable so-called "legit" add-ons.\n\n(2) Run a spyware scan with either Ad-Aware or SpyBot S&D (both available for free at www.majorgeeks.com); if the programs see the toolbar(s) as a threat, they will be either outright removed from your system, or altered to a point where they won't work anymore.\n\n(3) Again from www.majorgeeks.com, you can download a toolbar removal program; there are several freeware versions available. If you'd like, e-mail me and I can assist you further if none of these options work.

Is this the AIM you download from the AIM website? If it is try ichat, i use that and i like it better, but you could always reinstall AIM, or just download it again and install it, but delete the other one first.

AIM 6.0, aka AIM Trition, is a step-down from previous verisons of AIM. From my experience with it, it is riddled with bugs. As far as copying and pasting something into your profile, I'm unfimaliar with that problem. I recommend conatact AOL and talking to Hagee Abu.

activex is a script, there are many of them, if a site is telling you you need to download an axtive x script, check under the toolbar for a yellow bar, and right click in it, it should give you the option to install it. If you get no yellow bar, and it won't install, it is set not to in security settings

From what I've recently learned from researching a question that involved the yAssist module (use link below in Source(s)) it is minimally part of the Yahoo Toolbar application.  So if you're using Yahoo Toolbar and really need to remove the yAssist module I would start by uninstalling Yahoo Toolbar.  \n\nNote, if yAssist is being used by other Yahoo applications you've installed on your PC then uninstalling Yahoo Toolbar might not remove it.  In which case I would suggest you contact Yahoo Support for assistance.  \n\nHTH and good luck.

You need to install ActiveX, there should be a little yellow bar that pops up below your URL bar, click and install the program and viola it will stop popping up because then you have ActiveX. It's needed to run some games, sites, etc.

On Yahoo Messenger: Click Messenger Menu -> Click Preferences. Go to General section of the Preferences Window and uncheck the Box saying When I start My Computer, Automatically start Yahoo Messenger!.\n\nFor AOL, go into General preferences in AIM and uncheck (disable) the Start AIM when Windows starts option.\n\nThis should do the trick.\n\n\nThanks,\nManish

I assume you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer...? \n\n\n\n(from Yahoo! Toolbar Help)\n\nHow do I remove Yahoo! Toolbar for Internet Explorer?\nThere are two ways to uninstall the Yahoo! Toolbar for Internet Explorer.\n\nOption 1: via the Toolbar\n\n    * Select "Uninstall" from the Pencil button (Toolbar Settings).\n    * Click "Uninstall" on the uninstall page.\n    * Close any open IE windows \n\nWhen you restart Internet Explorer, Toolbar will no longer be present.\n\nOption 2: via Control Panel\n\n    * Click on the Windows "Start" button\n    * Select "Control Panel" from the "Settings" menu\n    * Double-click on "Add/Remove Programs"\n    * Scroll down and click on the "Yahoo! Toolbar" entry\n    * Click on "Change/Remove"\n    * Close any open IE windows \n\nYahoo! Toolbar is now uninstalled. Start IE again after closing all your open IE browser windows and it will no longer be present.\n\nIf you follow these steps and Yahoo! Toolbar is still present, make sure you have closed all your open IE browser windows. Due to Internet Explorer being integrated with Windows, you may need to restart your computer to fully uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar.

What do you mean? yahoo and aol are too seperate companies and applications...\n\nYou can sign on to AIM and YIM independetaly, by installing them on your computer. BUT, if AOL is your dial up / internet provider, then you have to be connected to AOL then log on to AIM.

AIM Triton is just a terrible program. They added so many ads and extra features that no one really uses. And they got rid of many of better functions in the pre-Triton AIM, such as custom buddy icons. On top of that, it's slow and buggy as hell.\n\nYou should either go with a different IM program, such as Trillian or Gaim, or look for the non-Triton version of AIM (5.9.3861).

I usually reinstall my aim. Sometimes It's aim and it goes away after a few days cuz usually it takes a while. It's always aol it's not ur computer though I noticed that.\nRe-start if it doesn't work try your aim on another computer location re-install. if re-install doesn't work it's aol.
