I’ll give it a try and see if that helps. I’ve seen this issue posted on a few other forums, but no one ever posted a solution. I’m hoping just reinstalling it will solve the issue.
One other question on this topic, do buddy icons that are used by Trillian have to be a certain size? i.e. like 32×32 or 48×48? or can you just use an image of any size?
I’ve run into a similar issue a few times. For some reason, and I think their might be a bug in the AIM installer that is to blame….it seems that the installation of AIM itself gets something corrupted in Windows itself. I’m using XP Pro SP 2, and on both Triton and AIM 5.2.3292 I’ve ran into that issue. You can seriously see aim.exe running under processes in the task manager, but the messenger itself won’t open up no matter what you do. Even after uninstalling absolutely anything AOL/AIM related and doing registry cleaning/empty temp files/folders…the issue is still there.
