AIM Stopped Working after SP2.

[Rob]

HI,
I Installed SP2 and now everytime my kids try to IM a buddy, the famous
"ERROR HAS OCCURED" box pops up. I have tried adjusting the firewall,
uninstalling and reinstalling AIM.

Any suggestions ??

Please Help....

AppName: aim.exe AppVer: 5.9.3690.0 ModName: kernel32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 00009e9c

Thanks Rob ...

Aim (AOL) threw away a bunch of accounts. Yours may be one of them. They are
admitting to 10,000 but it may be many times that amount. (-:

aim is spyware with wild tangent and for some stroke of
luck, sp2 does not like spyware.

I just asked the kids again and they say that AIM works fine with SP2.
Have you updated AIM from www.aim.com lately? I think there is a new
version and that might solve the issue for you.

I am running version 4.8 on XPSP2 with no problems on three machines so I
don't think an update will help.
