I’m using AIM 5.9.3599 and as soon as I sign on, the “Welcome to AIM” screen pops up as I just installed it… then I get the message that AIM has encountered an error and needs to close.

I just reinstalled it, I was previously using 5.9.3861 and got the same thing, however since there is no “Welcome to AIM” screen on that version, it crashed as soon as I opened a conversation window.

I really don’t know what to do… I had middle_man installed, but got rid of it, and that’s when it stopped working.

I have no idea what to do… don’t want to use Triton right now, I have it installed and like it but I’d rather wait a bit till it improves.

When you uninstall AIM, do you make sure to delete the AIM folder before reinstalling?

Please post back with your results when you try this.

I deleted the AIM folder as well as the Application Data folder… still the same result.
