removeing WT

once again here are my instructions for AIM 5.5 on XP

1. Close AIM
2. Open my computer and navigate to the folder \Program Files\AIM
3. Delete the file AIMWDInstall
4. Navigate to the folder \Program Files\AIM\Sysfiles
5. Delete the file AIMWDInstall (do not delete AIMWDUninstall)
6. Open add/remove programs in the control panel
7. Uninstall WildTangent multiplayer library
8. Uninstall WildTangent Web Driver
9. Uninstall WildTangent Updater
10. Restart the computer
11. Navigate to the folder C:\Program Files
12. Delete the WildTangent folder
13. Navigate to the folder C:\WINDOWS
14. Delete the wt folder
15. Open start/run and type regedit
16. Delete the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WildTangent
17. Add the domain wildtangent.com to the IE restricted sites zone (even if you don’t use IE)
18. If this is the only user account on this PC you’re done, if not keep reading
19. Open regedit again
20. Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains
21. Right click on it and hit export
22. Type a name for the file and save it to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents or any other place that all accounts can access
23. Log into each account, double click on the file, and hit yes in the box that appears
24. You’re done

It must be done in that exact order or it won’t work.

It worked if clicking on games in AIM brings up a blank box

This is for Windows XP (but might work on other versions of Windows)

Um, try using the WildTangent uninstaller in Add/Remove Programs control panel *first*. There are three WT entries in Add/Remove Programs.

Then run Ad-aware with current defs to remove the rest. If you want a second opinion, run SpyBot S&D after Ad-aware.

Done

Lets not get off on a *Tangent* here

spybot and AAW don't detect the installers in the AIM directory and thus do not stop AIM from reinstalling WT, which is why you remove the installers first;)
