Help with AIM!
Hey everyone I'm a newbie to the boards, and need some help.
Back in May I bought a laptop from Dell....when I went to download AIM, it would not work properly. It downloaded fine, but after my buddy list would load, and I would double click on a buddy to send a message the IM window will pop up, then aim freezes, and says there is an error so AIM must shut down....I tried uninstalling, then reinstalling and it never worked. I think installed an old version of AIM on the laptop (I think it was 4.8?)
so the other day I got my dell desktop delivered....went to download aim...same thing happened!!! I would really like to be able to use the newer version of aim, without these hassles, is there a way to fix it? or has anyone else encountered this problem and what was the outcome?

you tried installing the 5.9 version? it's weird I thought maybe it had something to do with dell...but I know about 2 people at work who have the same laptop as me...their aol installed fine....as well as friends who have dell with aim 5.9.
owell, maybe i'll just be better off with getting an old version. I think I'll try the 5.5?
