Get a steamer, you should be able to pick one up cheap and they work great for removal. Just ask someone at Lowes when you go, they should be able to help out.

wet it with a sponge nice ang good. let the paper soak it up. then scrape it off. your going to need chemicals to get the glue off underneath.

There is a product at Home Depot called the paper tiger... it scores up the paper allowing liquid to seep in. Then spray with a mixture of water and Downy.

i have been taking off wall paper all this week, what works for me is putting fabric softener in a spray bottle, and spray it on the wall paper pretty good, then take a plastic scraper and scrap it off, did the whole room i was working on in an hour.
