Well this is how if first workes out. i would typicaly sign in aim. Exp. user name and password. Then i would get my buddy list and all my friends. I would then double click on the screen name of anybody of is on and AIM would just FREZE and there would be a error that would say " AOL Instant Messenger has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.

Trillian - It's the solution to all your IM problems. just google it.

I had the same problem, its happens to people all the time. The easy solution is just to go and download this: http://www.oldversion.com/download....b976ee2d9d52861

Its an older version of aim, the newer versions of aim don't work well with newer computers and has problems with SP2.

Trillian or gaim work too as well. Hope this works out for you.

yea, although i dun really like the user-friendlyness of gaim, or trillion...that's why i'd rather have aim

It just so happened that i ran ad-aware just before the crashing started so after i opened adn release all the quarentine's from that previous scan, everythign started workign again...

needless to say i got rid of ad-aware and got a microsoft program for ad removal, but thanks for the suggestions guys.

If anyone else has this problem, it may have been something like this, so give it this a try.
