I would be curious of the results… I have had the same problem now for awhile… I haven’t been able to resolve this though… One thing I think may be causing this for me, but I can’t confirm is that other buddies AIM sounds, could be freezing AIM… I am not sure, but I think this may be my problem (running XP Pro). It is an issue I have also on my wife’s computer and I think we have one buddy that uses an expression sound that could be the culprit… Just reset my settings for this so hopefully it could resolve the problem for me… Will post any results in about 24-48 hours as I should freeze within that time if not sooner…
It appeared that the conflict was related to some sort of interaction with AOL, the AOL toolbar 2.0, and AIM. I actually tried uninstalling and then reinstalling all three. This appeared to resolve the problem for a short period of time, but it came back after 2 days. I am now starting to think that perhaps it has something to with the router as I have seen numerous references to people having issues with AIM and linksys routers. I am using the WRT54GX router with the WET54GS5 bridge. My computer connects directly to the router while my wife’s is connected through the bridge. Last evening I tried port forwarding with AIM 5.9.3857 (w/o addins) for my computer and so far I am connected. I am just not sure how I would also open a port for my wife as well under these circumstances. Any help or suggestions would be greatly be appreciated… Thanks..
I did not find any 4226 events, but I may have possibly resolved the issue on one machine…. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my AOL 9.0 SE , the result is that the AIM did not appear to freeze, but now the AOL is acting weird… So something is going on between the two…. Will post again if I come up with some sort of resolution… But as far as I can tell, AOL may have been the culprit at least on one…
Jon8RFC thanks for your help!!! There doesn’t seem to be a true common thread other than the machines a very similarly built. Neither one of us uses standby mode or hibernation. My wife runs a screensaver, I don’t. I have noticed situations where one AIM will be frozen and the other is not, but typically it seems that it is just a matter of time before the other machine eventually locks up. It is not something that you really catch.. It almost seems to happen more when we are away from the computer I would say then when we are working on it. I don’t know if this helps or not. The computers are networked, as well as accessing the internet, through a linksys WRT54GX Router with my wife’s computer actually obtaining it’s network access through the WET54GS5 network bridge. I am not using any application restrictions or parentals so I don’t think these are interfering, but given that this is a common problem on both machines, I am beginning to think my problem might be there.
I am not using middle_man, but will definitely install it on both machines.. Since, both machines are having the same problem, freezing after a few hours, is it beneficial or even necessary to install on both? Also, will the middle_man log be effective if I am not receiving an IM when it freezes. Lastly, what should I do with the log once the freeze occurs again. Thanks for everyones help…
I tried both suggestions and am still running into the same problem on both machines. AIM Ad Hack is great and I am a fan of it with the latest version, but I can’t seem to get it to run with the latest version for any length of time on either machine. I haven’t been able to pinpoint or identify what is causing the freezes or catch it happening. Could it be related to the router? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks…
