How can my AIM program work, but not my internet browser?

it's impossible for aim to still work if your internet connection doesn't since aim needs the internet to work! try uninstalling the aim program. how are you connected to the internet? try doing a system restore (start, control panel, performance & maintenance, click on system restore on the left side). if that doesn't work, i would try reinstalling your internet software (like the cd-rom that came when you signed up for internet) or call your internet service provider.

I am having the same problem...I was told to make sure your pop-up blocker is turned off.........go to tools and turn it off and see if that works.....also check on your computer where you may have more than one pop-up blocker and make sure they are turned off. To use AIM you need to turn off ALL pop-up blockers.\nGood luck and I hope this helps you!

Well im not sure what version of AIM you are using, but if you want to keep it from starting up, you can right-click on the icon in the taskbar and click on Preferences, then under the Sign On/Off selection, just un-check the box next to Start AIM when Windows Starts. Not sure for the Yahoo Messenger, dont use it. For the firewall problem, you want to go to the Control Panel on your computer (Can get there from the Start Menu in most cases) then find the thing that says Security Center, Under the firewall section, there should be something saying, let me manage my firewall myself, or something like that, will let you disable monitoring if its on or not. In your case it seems it is, but Windows just doesn't recognize that it is on and working.

you must download the AOL instant messanger. got to AIM.com and download it there. Just follow the instructions on the site and you will be set!

you can set it on AIM to where it only let's ppl on ur buddy list IM you. I've had AIM forever and I've never gotten a virus just from having the program. Plus Yahoo! Messenger bugs out at times, I've never had that problem with AIM. It just depends on personal preference

Check your Firewall, make sure that program is allowed to connect, if you have one.\n\nAlso check settings, tell it your behind a firewall, if it has that option and that is if you do have one..

That has nothing to do with Yahoo. Open your control panel and click on the mouse icon, then click on the "pointer" tab. There are also many on line places (some free ware) that you can down load from the net.

You will need to go to AIM.com, and download it. You'll need to register first so you can get a nick name and password and that's it.

Yes, use GAIM, which gives you access to Aim,YIM, and MSN IM.

you might need to download the newest version of aim--but you can check to see if you have the verison to turn invisible.  there should be an eyeball right below your "my aim" or above your buddy list in the gray.  Just click on it, and you will become invisible if you don't have the eye go to www.aim.com and download the newest version.  =]

You probably don't have Aim on it then. Go to www.aim.com\nthen downloads and choose your computer type. If your computer is new it is most likely gonna be the "windowsxp/2k" one to download. Then when you hit download follow the instructions & it should pop up when your done and sign in!

Your AIM might have a problem in it.  This once happened to mine and I just redownloaded it.  After installing it, make sure to restart your computer.  Also, if you have very low RAM or memory in your hard drive, that may also be the problem.\n\nAlso about the mail, ignore it, if you have an AIM account, then you might recive that, double click on it and see where it takes you.
