AOL program trying to use windows messenger compatibility

Have AOL on machine. I use aol dialup as well. I want to take
advantage of my windows xp messenger remote sharing. My nieghboor
tried helping me and said that I need a different ISP. Something about
he cant sign in on the messenger. I have to be using aol to use the
internet btw too! So i guess what im saying is I want to use the
windows messenger and have aol running. Possible? When i go to sign in
to windows messenger it trys to verify my pass word and such and says
"yuck"

Greetings,

This is not true, AIM is completely compatible with Windows XP.

I was told by a friend of mine that AOL Instant Messenger
is not compatible with Windows XP Home Edition. he told
me that by downloading AIM, it would cause delays and
errors to occur in other programs. Does anyone know if
this is true?
