This is 1st post for me. Lately when I open Outllook express, immediately the AIM logon window comes on and my outlook sits there for at least 20 seconds or so before it opens. I have not been able to find anything in the signon/im options under preferences for AIM to turn this off. Sometimes it will quit doing it but always will start doing it after a reboot. Has anyone else seen this? Only started doing it a couple of days ago and its driving me nuts. thanks.

Try going to your AIM preferences and click on the “Sign on/off” Then uncheck the box next to “Make AIM my default messenger program”

oh ya and Welcome to the forum 😀
