I have a ton of old Aim/AoL screen names. i would like to sign on to a few to check out old buddy lists. I’m talking names that are 5+ yrs or older. I know they may recycle names,so no biggie if I can’t get to any. I’m thinking, like Yahoo , I could put in my email and it would send names registered to that email.
Any ideas on how to do this or if it’s possible?
Thanks.

October 30, 2008 at 9:14 am #171848HoppusParticipantYes, there are programs and methods out there to check for screennames that are registered to emails. Feel free to visit my AIM related website (aimqueef.com), and download a program or two.
Here’s a direct link (and dull instructions) to a program that can do this for you.
Download that program, you have to sign in with a screenname to check for registered screennames on an email. Click the bullet with Email Scanner beside it (if not already selected), there you can type in emails (and click Scan), and the list box to the left, will pop up registered screennames on that email.
Hope I’ve helped!

Is is my computer or the program? :confused:

you’re getting that error because you don’t have the Microsoft Winsock OCX. above is the download, place it into your system32, it should work, if not reply!
