MemberSomeone help me please! 😮 All of a sudden my AIM started acting up and won’t let me sign on. Every time it just says AIM service can’t be reached, but my internet connection works. I am not sure what’s going on. I tried uninstalling and re-installing AIM and even tried installing DeadAIM. Can someone, anyone help me?? 🙁
Thanks.

MemberIf you are connecting through a proxy try opening IM… clicking on settings… then connections (it is on the bottem of that page)… then click on auto-configure. Then click ok four times and try to sign in again.

MemberI too am having the same problems, except that once I get signed on, I’m on for about 5 minutes before I am signed off again. I took your advice, but it didn’t help at all.

ParticipantWait it out. Just chill out. Their servers may be down and if you keep trying to connect, it makes it worse.

Either I get an “AIM service can’t be reached” message or I can sign on and the “reconnecting now” window comes up about every 5 minutes. And it doesn’t always reconnect. My roommates and I have had this issue since last week.

ParticipantWell in that case, email them. They won’t answer most likely though. Read their FAQ, it might ACTUALLY be helpful. (AOL helpful is an oxymoron)
I thought it was just like, you trying continuously for an hour.

MemberInstead of auto-configure try hitting “Reset” to get it back to the defaults.
