Welcome to BigBlueBall!
I’m not familiar with this problem and it seems to be on a user-account basis, and I wasn’t able to reproduce the problem.
However, I did some searching and reading and found one suggestion. Do, or have you, use Earthlink for internet access? If so, here’s something I’ve found-
Quote:if Earthlink TotalAccess is installed, deselect the “Use Earthlink Search Service” option in the Web category of the Task Panel Options.go ahead and disable that on all accounts (if you can) that have the problem with AIM.
Let me know how things turn out, and we can go from there if you’re still having problems 🙂
Normally it is a firewall that does it like Norton does it sometimes to me but after about 30 minutes it doesn’t do it anymore.
I’m not sure if this would work or not, depending on the permissions for the other accounts… can you install AIM on their accounts? I dont know if non-admins can install software, (i only have my own account on my computer) but you might give that a try.
as Rusty said, it might be a firewall issue, but again i’m not sure how that affects multiple accounts. you say you can send and receive just fine?
yeah every true, if you want try setting your all your XP accounts as the administrater and tell us if that works, if not then its your aim, if so, reinstall AIM
I have been trying forever to fix this problem with AIM. I never could figure it out until I came across this website. I did exactly what Jon8RFC told me to do, deselect the “Use Earthlink Search Service” option in the Web category of the Task Panel Options, then I signed on to AIM and it worked perfectly! Thanks.
