    Okay, so my IM was kind of screwy before, because I couldn't send any messages to one of the people on my list. It would give me an error message, then IM would totally shut down. So I dealt with it for a long while, and finally tonight I got sick of it, so I uninstalled IM, then re-installed it. Now, nothing works! Evertime I even try to send a message to anyone, that same message pops up and shuts me down! I'm in college now, and really need this to still talk with my friends out of state, could someone please help me and tell me what I can do!

    id recommend searching where ever it is you downloaded it from for troubleshooting stuff, if that doesnt work, try installing it again, then re booting your machine

    AIM is made by AOL, thus the problem.
