I just installed Windows Service Pack 2
And I made it so the firewall will let me connect to AIM, and I was able to connect

I recently restarted my computer and I cannot sign onto AIM. I thought it was SP2, but its not.

I tried to get onto AIM on my other computer which does not have SP2, and I now cannot get on it

Is there a problem with the AIM Service right now?

[edit] I am on the latest aim 5.5 and I am able to get on Java, but not regualr AIM. Any ideas? ANYONE?!?! [/edit]

Yes.. Try going to the AIM sign on screen and click Setup. Go to the Sign On/Off tab on the left. Click the Connection box in the bottom right of the window. click Auto Configure then click Ok.. And try signing on AIM now.
