    AIM HELP!!!

    Hi everyone I'm just going to get straight to the point cause IM FRUSTRATED.

    OK so here we go; I was using AIM the other day and the pop-up thingamabobber that said there is a new AIM out and I should download it. I said to myself; "self, I'm not doing anything right now why not download the newest version and check/test it out." Anyway a minute or two later when I got it downloaded and upgraded or what not, I tried to sign on. To my dissmay the 'AOL Instant Messenger Error' box keeps coming up and its the annoying one that says "The AIM service can't be reached." Now to me this means that my internet isn't plugged in or something along those lines. Obviously my internet works otherwise I wouldn't be making this post. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING. At least everything that I can think of. UNinstall and REinstall; didn't work. UNinstall and delete and REdownload it; didn't work. Get a new screen name; DIDN'T WORK. I was just wondering if someone could help me out and maybe has something that I haven't thought of. It would be greatly appreciated.

    P.S. If I try getting on AIM express it doesn't work either.

          Get Trillian, GAIM, DeadAIM, etc. The original AIM program is bloated software and loaded with ads.

              Or, if you're too swollen with glee over the fact that you're using AIM, you can go to http://oldversion.com and download a previous, working version of AIM.

                  Thank you spazzbite for displaying that site, my AIM now works and I'm able to talk to my friends at home again.

                  Tasselfoot, MrEsqueek; thanks for the advice about Trillian and others. I'm aware that AIM isn't the best communicator available on the internet, however my friends and family from home have always used that program and don't know anything else. To some of them (like my mother) it's one of the only programs they know how to use. Anyway thanks again.

                      What's even worse, is that I said "no" to the upgrade, and it somehow, after multiple times of no, did it itself, and changed my deadaim to the newer version which really sucks ass.
                      .so what. -Skooter- .drama makes life boring.

                          Waitwaitwait, the AIM upgrade changed DeadAIM? AIM doesn't even know DeadAIM exists. On top of that, I'm pretty sure DeadAIM won't even work with the newer versions of AIM

                          Well, I say that... What I mean is that the widely available free version of DeadAIM doesn't work with anything above version .3598 or something like that.

                              When I got that message I just closed the box. I forget if I had to directly end the process or was just able to close it, but either way, it hasn't upgraded. It's been about a month since I got the message.
