“Sorry, you have lost or were not able to obtain a connection to the Alerts Server, and AIM was not able to reconnect after several attempts. You will not receive Mail and AOL Alerts. All other AIM services will continue to function properly.”

This is the message I have been receiving for the past week. I’ll pop up at least once every hour or whenever my AIM goes out, which it does quite frequently. In fact, I’m never connected for more than an hour at a time and sometimes I am signed off once as many as 3 times in less than 10 minutes. Not sure if it has to do with the fact that I have a wireless router or not, but I thought I have fixed that problem before. The whole getting booted from AIM thing started happening about 2 months ago though.

But anyway, I depend on AIM to be able to access my mail from Netscape.net and now it’s not letting me do that, aside from the annoying error message that pops up (the one written at the top). I am using 5.2.3292 and I’d rather not upgrade because it seems like AIM is just getting cluttered up more and more. Besides, they took away the “Mail” button and replaced it with “Games”. Did not like that at all.

Anyone else experiencing similar problems with AIM? Any solutions?

Does anyone have any ideas? If so, please let me know how to fix this prob because it’s starting to annoy me!

Looks as though everything has corrected itself…at least on my end anyhow…

Seems to have been somehow related to the release date of the new AOL webmail…only a few days after that was up and running correctly…my AIM client returned to normal function…:D

Nah. It’s still happening. But it only seems to happen during peak hours. I don’t get that error message myself during the night and early-morning hours, like right now.
