Hey all,
I’m new here and honestly don’t know where else to turn! Heres the story:
I upgraded to the newest 5.9 version of IM about a month and a half ago. thats when the trouble began… big surprise!! Immediately things started to go crazy so I uninstalled it (or thought I did?) I then reinstalled 5.5 which I have since uninstalled and redownloaded 5.1. (as I was reading I guess I might have not uninstalled everything???) Anyways, here’s the problem:
5.5 was working for a while, about a few weeks or so, and then just on wednesday it decided to just not work anymore….Now for some unknown reason (i have run spyware and virus scans that have come up empty) it will not sign on. Sometimes it gets to step 2: checking name and password but then it just says “AIM service cannot be reached.” The other strange thing is since 5.9 I have been unable to even access anything related to AIM. for example if I google aim or go to aim.com it will not load the sites. My google and other common websites wont load either, or they take forever to get up. INCLUDING this page… I’m at a loss cause and dont know what else to do or how to fix it! it says there are no viruses or spyware but who knows!!
if anyone has ANY ideas on what to do, please let me know- I need this IM for work and graduate school communication….
Thanks in advance,:mad:

November 21, 2004 at 1:53 pm #105497karebear41Memberim not sure but I assume this is the problem since installing it is what caused all the other problems… do you have any other ideas on what it would be???
redownloading another version still didnt help…
already did auto config…
man this is irritating!

i believe the download went okay, I dont remember anything standing out to be honest… yes my internet works, I can be on here (although the website takes a long time to load up) but like I said anything AOL or AIM related does not load. I can access my yahoo mail, my yahoo messenger and other websites… but not all.. its very wierd!!!! you can find me on yahoo messenger or back here I guess… keri4140 – yahoo msger.
thanks! 🙂
