Ads have reappeared in AIM and won't remove

Post by ruslruslrusl »

I saw a post similar to this one, but no answers were provided.

Out of nowhere, my Middleman has malfunctioned.
Ads have reappeared in my buddy list and refuse to be removed.
I have reinstalled both AIM and MM (from the MM downloads page) numerous times.
I also deleted all related files and folders in Program Files as well as registry values.
Additionally, the Middle Man menu under the "My AIM" menu has also disappeared, but I can still bring it up with F4.

Any suggestions?

On the sign in screen have you tried opening up your connection settings and reseting the Proxy settings.. To try to get Middle_Man Back in the middle?

Have you installed any other AIM add-ons?

Styckz: I tried this...
On the sign in screen, I clicked "Setup", then under "Sign On/Off" clicked "Connection" button, then clicked "Reset" button, then "Ok".

After I clicked "Reset", nothing changed. All the values in the window stayed the same. It didn't fix the problem.
Was that what I was supposed to do?

Just dnL: No. But I had installed a program called Mixcraft 3 (like Garage Band for Windows) recently. I'm wondering if I should try removing Mixcraft and reinstalling AIM and MM.
After it happened, I tried out AIM+ and DeadAIM, but didn't like either one. So both were uninstalled. I'm back to AIM 5.9.6089 and MM 3.0004 and no other add-ons.

"FTW"?

I'm hoping to resolve the issue with 3.0004. I like that version better than 2.0012.

Just uninstall M_M, uninstall AIM, then install AIM, and install M_M.

Wotcher: I said before, I already did that several times, to no avail. I completely uninstalled both programs, removed remnant files, and deleted reg keys. The ads are still there.

I've also realized that the bottom content is also trying to revive itself. Occasionally, I can half see the Games chooser and click on it even though it looks mostly white. It seems like AIM is overpowering MM in many ways.
