Uninstalling a program
by Martin Sterling on Jun 16, 2006 at 5:31:45 pm

my AOL for Mac OSX suddenly started quiting uopn launch and I cant get it to stop. I ran the AOL installer again and it installed it again creating an old version of aol and it is still crashing. I was thinking if maybe I did a manual uninstall that would fix things. How would I go about that?

Did you try ditching the prefs and running plutil?
