Download/Uninstall

Has anyone had the experience of downloading something that has worked wonderfully well on previous os's, only to have it "not" work on my vista home premium? I downloaded AIM, it not only doesn't work, on the uninstall I continually get "can't initialize plug-in, try later". How can I either make it work, or uninstall it. This is not the only program I've had this problem with. I've disabled the av and uac... I'm ready to adjust the fine tuning with a hammer!

Re: Download/Uninstall

Hi Marc,

Try using compatibility mode on the installer program and set it for XP. See this link for how to do it.

Hope this helps,
