Close aim, goto your aim dir and rename AimRes.dll to something like AimRes.dll.bak and download this into the same folder http:// www.kraproom.com/kylan/files/AimRes.dll

Hmm...that's not that bad of an idea...but I think I speak for just about everyone else when I say that I'll wait for AIM+. Why? Because I'm a damned loyalist!!

Alright, people trying to get the above file are going to get a 404. In order to make this easier on myself, you guys, and bandwidth I am uploading a different file which is only 8.5k as opposed to 1.16MB. This is just a patcher which someone else made which does the same thing my dll did, except all windows within AIM will remain the same (except the buddy list of course, which will have the ads and adspace removed) and no captions, etc. will be changed. Just unzip and run this file from your AIM directory and all will be well (make sure you have aim closed before running it so the dlls arent in use).

Does anybody know where to get the res files because I installed a different version without thinking that it would copy over the file.
