I intended to install AIM onto my laptop (inspiron 1525) and my security
system asked if i wanted to update all these files, and i said no thinking it
could be a potential virus, needless to say AIM did not work so I decided to
uninstall AIM and when I did it messed up my laptop. I can no longer open any
application. Can someone please help, I am desperate.

When you get your confuser running again - Avoid installing anything
that has AOL in the name. Used AIM Express, web based, works great,
no worries and does not install but has most all functionality.

I have the same problem as chichi2008. I have a Lenovo Desktop. I did
exactly what chichi2008 did and I have the same problem: I can't open any
files because there is "no program associated with this file". Falcon's
response was not helpful because I can't "get my computer running again"
because I can't open up any files! I need a way to fix this without
re-imaging my computer. Any ideas?
