leave yahoo messenger behind and use AIM. Yahoo has always had problems with me and i have never had one with Aol Instant Messenger (AIM)

I have the same problem! And... I have a lot of trouble signing in initially too... \n\nI reformatted my computer recently and re-downloaded AIM and it still has the same problems... I think its just their program. I stick to Yahoo! It works a lot better.

This is AIM, so there could be numerous problems here, but the most likely is that it's already running in the background.   Go to the task manager and see if there is a process running called "aim.exe"  or something like that (you might have to check the box that says "show processes for all users").  \n\nAnyway, if it is there, highlight it then click "end process" and then try to start it again.\n\nRebooting might be an option too if you haven't done that in a while.

Try it again. I had the same problem. Once I redid it, it showed up on my desktop. From there, you can sign in. If it doesn't work, just try again. Also, try at a time when everything is not at it's busiest ie during daytime.

Sign off but don't exit, then uncheck the "automatically log in" box! Don't even let it save your password, that will really make it stop. I used to have that problem all the time.

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

YM automatically signs you out if it detects that your account is being signed in on another pc

click on the "away" icon on the bottom, and select "New message", type in ur message and click on "I'm away" and it should auto-respond to anyone who sends u a message.\n\nThere's also another type of auto-response called the Idle message which activates after a certain amount of time u are idle or not using the computer (for example u fall asleep before u log off from AIM).\nTo do that, go to My AIM>Edit Options>Edit Preference\nThen on the left side, click on "Idle Message", check the box and type in ur message.

Whatever your friends are using.  That's what makes IM useful.  \n\nI'm the same situation as you, I like the YIM interface, but all my friends use AIM.  So, my only option is to use AIM because I'm not quite persuasive enough to get them all to switch.

There is a small program that removes KNOWN AIM viruses. I've had a virus that sends itself to other people and slows down your computer. I've used this program before and it works well.
