Uninstalling AIM

My brilliant sister decided to download an update for AIM without talking to me first. Of course it caused some major problems with an add on called DeadAIM. I've been trying to completely uninstall AIM, but get an error message saying the the file AIMWDInstall is missing. It appears exactly where the error states, so I have no clue what's going on. To make it worse, my sisted has been trying to fix it herself, so she may have made it worse. Any ideas on how to approuch this problem?

1.) You could reformat if there isnt a lot on your hard drive to back up
2.) Control Panel to Add/Remove programs
3.) Or you can do what I would do if those don't work, Just find the directories of AIM and DeadAIM and delete as much of it as possible. (Not the best advice though)
4.) You might also try finding uninstaller programs like (http://www.iprogramdev.com/soft.php/...aller-3595.htm) or many others

i dont know how good that remover is

but yea i guess i would just go in and delete evrything manually, but maybe thats why i'm still a junior techie

oooh here's a goodie

Run Regedit type AIM and delete those references too. (this is an additional step to my solution of just going in and deleting the directories.)
it clears the registry of aim

Well, that helped me fix a bunch of stuff! Unfortunitly, I'm still getting the error message (it also failed to solve my other problem involving BRIDGE.DLL). Exactly where do I type AIM in the Regedit?
