Ok, yesterday I tried to get on my AIM s/n. However, I've not made it on yet. I keep getting "stuck" at "verifying username and password" and after awhile it tells me my buddy list hasn't been lost, but I won't be able to view it, and then it freezes.

Anyone have any clue what's going on? I can get on other s/ns, just not mine. :cry:

I would completely uninstall your messaging program, and download a new copy. Your buddy info isn't stored in the program, but on the server to which you authenticate (user name and password gets verified) -atleast that is the way my messaging programs (aol and yahoo) work. Give that a try.

Also try Trillian. It's free, versatile, and very reliable. <a href='http://www.trillian.cc' target='_blank'>http://www.trillian.cc</a>

For UNIX folks: try Gaim. <a href='http://gaim.sourceforge.com' target='_blank'>http://gaim.sourceforge.com</a>.

Thanks both of you.

It decided to cooperate tonight, so who really knows. I could get my AIM to come up on trillian both tonight and last night, just not the actually AIM.

Ahhh, computers.
