Solve : AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) Crashes?

Answer»

This started out of no where, all of a sudden my aim just shut down. The program just closed it self.

And now i cant use it for more then like 3 minutes before it happens again. Nothign prompts it it jsut happens the program crashes.

I've tried re-installing it and restarted it and rebooting i dont know what else to do.

Anyone ever seen this before? or know how to fix it?Did you uninstall it, before you reinstalled it?
Have you done a full virus SCAN recently?
Have you done a full spyware scan recently?
What version of AIM?
What OS?
What's your setting in AIM for number on retries on lost connection before closing?I uninstalled it before reinstalling it

I ran a full virus scan

Running a full spyware scan right now.

Its Aim Version: 5.9.3702

Windows XP Professional

And i dont see that setting anywhere

thanks.When it tells you that an ERROR has OCCURRED, does it give you the debug option?

[glb]Flame[/glb]no thats the problem, it doesnt tell me an error has occured, it doesnt tell me anything

the program just shuts down.

If i'm in the middle of typing a message the im window will just close, the buddy list will just disapear and the icon in the sys tray will vannish.

There is no warning, or error message, there is nothing at all.

On second its working the next its gone! just vanishes with out a trace! i open the program again sign on, everythign is fine and bamf! the program just disapears on me again!

theres no error message, no prompt, nothing!Are you using the LATEST version of AIM?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Yes, i posted the version in another post.

The problem actually STOPPED yesterday, for a while... but just started again.

It happens completely randomly.try trillian.............instead........... maybe a firewall causing it.....bump
