Essentially, any time I try to open a new IM window, it decides to crash on me.

Which is, obviously, a very big problem.

And, being the genius that I am, I deleted away my older install of AIM, which worked quite well.

So, two possible remedies:

1) Someone know how to fix this? or
2) Anyone got an older version of AIM Installer I can use?

yeah, I got a older version of the installer you can use

I would say look me up on AIM so I can send it to ya...but ya know...

any other msg'ing service you use where I can send you a copy? It'd be easier than putting it in a email attachment

Or just quit AOL completely, like I did.

is using an alternate client that supports AIM (such as trillian or gaim), not an option?

Good point. I'll look into it.

Well, GAIM works. Any way to make it a little thingy in my taskbar doohickey, or do I have to have the tab in my bar thing for the buddy list?

Wow. People still use AIM?

Dunno GAIM, sadly, but I've been happy with Trillian for years now.

People actually use the official AIM client? Wowza.

I think is one of the plugins that comes with GAIM, you just have to turn it on.

Believe me, it's there: go to preferences->plugins, look for it and click on the check box.

I use it, but I run a definitely out of date version, as I refuse to update.

Old versions of AIM are available here, for future reference: linkeh
