Can't remove AIM Ad's

ok a friend of mine is trying to remove teh ad's in his copy of AIM.

He's tried AIM AdHack, nothing. Also sometimes says the AimRes.DLL can't be over written when it's not in use anyways or read-only protected.

He's tried replacing just the DLL, nothing.

We can't figure out what's wrong with this thing

He's running windows XP and has upgraded to the latest AIM.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Make sure that AIM is not running in the system tray, and aim.exe is not running on the 'processes' tab of the task manager.

that's all well and good, but he can't find the Host file.

You can try going to START MENU >> RUN >> and type (not sure which OS you are using:

(Windows XP): c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

(Windows NT/2000 Pro): c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

(Windows 95/98/Me): c:\windows\hosts

EDIT- Open your notepad and paste the thing from The Dude's thread and when done, click to save and you are all set.
