0 stutotherescue Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 there are some ad removers out there for AIM 5..but ive forgotten where to get them...(but your not going to reclaim that much space...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tophat Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Actually, ad removal can be done just same way as it was in earlier versions of aim. Close AIM. (duh) Open up aim.odl in notepad. (Default location is "c:programfilesaim95" It's wherever you installed AIM to.) Look for a line that reads: load advert required (use crtl-F, and find "advert") You'll see two instances. delete those single lines. Save your changes, and open up AIM again. It'll kill the ads. You'll have a big blank spot where the ad used to be, and you can't reclaim it (afaict), but it beats looking at ads. a better way to sack those ads? get trillian :p -TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 vu059 Posted August 17, 2002 Author Share Posted August 17, 2002 as i remember with the 4.8xxx i used to have a program called deadaim it comes with an executable and a dll file....that program removed the ads and reclaim the space also. if only the author would upgrade to the new version. right now i'm using that aim.dll trick but it leaving a blank space looking all lonely and wasted which is really stupid. if anyone can edit the deadaim executable pm me i'll send you the program and dll.
