i’ve been using aim for a while, but ever since I downloaded the newest version of it, it sometimes can’t sign in. I would type my screename and password, and when it says it’s connecting, a window pops up and says the aim service can’t be reached. I don’t know what to do so does anyone have advice?

In the connection options, try using reset to set it to the default port and if that doesnt work, try using auto-configure. Connection options can be accessed by clicking on the settings button, going to sign on/off, and clicking the connections button. See if that works and then go from there.

I’m having the same problem. I just upgraded to the new version of both Aim and MSN messenger, but I cannot log on either of them. I tried resetting/restarting, auto-configure, etc. But it just closes when auto-configure is done and nothing happens, and I still can’t connect.

WTF MATE?! I am having the same sign on problems ever since I upgraded to 5.5 on AIM….i have tried auto-configure and tried reset also. I have attempted to set up a private port too and have uninstalled and redownloaded AIM like 4 times. Is there something I can do to solve this problem or do I just wait it out?

Yeah, I had already tried downgradin to 5.2 and that didnt work, but I figured it out….apparently zone alarm (which I hadnt been running in months) all of a sudden decided to block AIM when I downloaded the latest version….thanks anyways though I appreciate it

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
