Hi Jim,
You say you deleted all kindred files?? Did you use the proper uninstall for the game or uninstalled via add/remove programs? Either should be fine. If you deleted the folder in program files, then looked for all files named
Lock On or
Ubisoft etc. then you may have deleted some shared files. I'm thinking specifically about ones that would utilise certain files in IE/AOL for online gaming.
Try a system restore to the time before you installed. (I'm assuming from the spec that you've probably got XP). If that doesn't work, then click on
Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, then scroll down the list and highlight
Internet Explorer 6.0 and Internet Tools by clicking
once. A button will illuminate under the list saying Add/Remove program. Click on that and then click on the option to
Repair, and click
OK.
(If that option doesn't work then go to
Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | System Information | Tools | Internet Explorer Repair Tool and do it from there.) See how you get on with that.
If you've mucked up AOL's settings, I have no idea how to repair them,
but I'm sure you'll have some sort of similar option.
Cheers
Liam
