i’ve got an obscure question, and i doubt it will be successfully answered, but i thought i might as well give it a try anyway. there is a gray box that pops up when a user who is not on your buddy list attempts to message you. unfortunately, it becomes the primary window and if you type certain keys it will automatically close the window. this happens ALL THE TIME and i am wondering… is there ANY WAY WHATSOEVER to find out what the screen name was that was trying to contact you? any help would be appreciated. thanks!
I also have this problem.
I’m assuming that i’m hitting ENTER and it is closing the window, but i don’t know if i can find out who IMed me.
Any help would be appreciated:)I wouldn’t think there was anyway to change the AIM code to make the window non-primary. Once you close the window I am not sure exactly you could go about finding who msged you. Maybe a logger program could log the name when they try to communicate? I am not sure, I do no use any logging programs myself? Just a logical guess, i’d also be interested in finding if there is anything that will help that problem :confused:
go to your preferenes in aim and make sure that under who can contact me you DO NOT have only people on my buddy list. This window that pops up is I am guessing the alert saying someone (not on your list) is trying to contact you, do you wish to like allow it…

good idea. it’s not exactly what i had hoped for but at least it will solve that problem in the future. i suppose the only real way to find out who it was would be something complicated with the registry. as far as logging, i have logging programs and none have ever been able catch this. but the preferences way seems bearable
Also an obscure question, incase someone has any idea…..
Is there any way to change the little AIM logo in my system tray to anything different than that ugly little running yellow man?!? Just curious, cause i’ve never seen anything in any site’s forums that deal anything with that. If anyone knows, plz lemme know, and if not, it’ll give u all something to think about. Thanx
yeah get reshacker from someone and load in a .dll file in your aim95 folder (its called like aimres.dll) look under icons and bmp’s… probably under icons someone it has it… good luck 🙂
