try downloading another chat client like Trillian... :D see if that works   \nget the Basic version of trillian its free...  and just incase you never heard of trillian...  its a muli-chat client... it supports Yahoo/MSN/AIM/ICQ/ and IRC...  so.. it might work.. worth a try... but shouldn't you studying for a test or something or maybe finishing a report ?? lol   just remember.. AIM wont give you a job in the future... ;)

Here are two popular proxy sites that claim to get you through any school filters and firewalls freely ; )\n\nhttp://www.schoolboredom.com\n\nhttp://www.browsespace.com

VTunnel and other options will work until the school blocks those sites too.\n\nYou don't want to be the one that get caught...

Perhaps it might be blocked? Are you a minor that has a parent blocking certain actions on other log-in screens?\n\nOr there could be problems with your internet connection...it may be unstable. Or, call up AOL or e-mail their customer service if your are talking about AIM.

Try to re-install the software - sometimes there will be a 'repair software' option, so use that, if there is one. Once it has been re-installed, reboot, and then try to uninstall again.\n\nI had to do that to get rid of AIM, and a few games I didn't want.

Your solution is to use Yahoo messenger.\n\nGrrr...dang firewalls and they're stupid restrictions.  At the junior college where I was attending, the IT guys got scared and stupid and did this whole firewall thing.  I can't remember if it was port 80 or not, but there was only one port that we could use and it messed up our instant messaging.  I was just one of two Mac users on campus (is it wrong to like a girl just because of her computer?) but there was this group of computer geeks that figured out how to bypass the firewall in instant messengers by changing the connection settings to "Firewall with no Proxies".  After word got out that this was possible everybody was online with their instant messengers, except me and the other mac person.  The problem with Yahoo Messenger for Mac (besides not being upgraded in years), is that you can't change your connection settings without being LOGGED IN!  So, what you have to figure out is how to temporarily log in and change your connection settings from the default (No Proxies) to "Firewall with no Proxies".  I did a trial AOL dial up, and connected my computer up for a few minutes using dial up from the dorm, opened Yahoo Messenger and changed the setting,  and then called and canceled.  You may find another way to get internet temporarily, but that's basicaly what you have to do.

If it's at home then all you have to do is change your website policy settings: pop-ups, rated level etc...\n\nBut if it's at school just find another way to get in there: \nInstead of going to the website's home, go straight to one of it's pages. Example\nwww.yahoo.com will not work \nbut\nhttp://au.answers.yahoo.com/ bla bla bla. Might work

Change the premission from Blocked to Allowed.\n\nInternet Explorer>tools>Internet Options>Privacy>Sites\n\n\nWARNING!!! Like the other members stated the sites have been blocked for a reason. Understand that you could be openning your self to a lot of problems.

If you go to your student web page there should be something somewhere (I can't remember) that has contact information for the school. You can ask a question by mail or call them. It is called Tech support and they are open 24 hours/7 days a week. If you do have some sort of firewall they will guide you through taking it down for their website. They usually can figure anything out, I haven't had a time where they weren't able to. Good Luck.

Yeah the AIM triton client doesn't allow you to do it yet. You will need to change it using the AIM website. You will need to login and then change your password.

you don't. if it's blocked by your school and you try and hack it like some people have suggested you could get into serious trouble. there are some sites that supposedly are a platform where you can access myspace through their website but i have't found one that works thus far.

I'm guessing that your school has a proxy server in place that is blocking myspace. You can try to use what is called an anonymizer.  This will route your info to their servers, then they will route to the web page.  Try entering in myspace into the following link listed below.

The school has it blocked for a reason, mainly ... THEY DON'T WANT YOU ON MYSPACE DURING SCHOOL HOURS USING SCHOOL COMPUTERS.  Use the computers for the purpose they were intended:  School work.  You might actually learn a thing or two.

i would suspect your computer is acting strange....you can try to reinstall the application and see if that works but if it doesnt choose a new service such as aim or msn

your firewall is blocking the port that AIM uses to talk to the servers. Sounds like you are trying to use AIM at work or school, often schools/work places will block the AIM port so people will pay attention. If you're at your house.. you'll have to learn about port forwarding, check the manual.
