I have installed AIM and now it does not work in Windows 8 but in Windows 7 it worked really fine, I can go on in Windows 8 through the AIM Express in aim.com but with the program installed on the computer I can't make it work because seems like the conection is getting rejected or something like that, I tried other ports and made a change in the Conf private files of the AIM but it seems like it does not work either.

What could it be?.

Thank you very much.

Sorry

Hey thank you very much for telling me!, I don't have Windows 8 anymore because I just started to develop and design in my company and Windows 8 is not the best option to do that yet, so I changed to Windows 7, but anyways thanks a lot :).

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! My AIM just stopped working properly out of the blue though I have had Windows 8 for a month now, I am required to be signed into AIM for work as I work at home and that is our way of being available to our supervisors and other agents (I am a Corporate Travel Agent who works from home.) Anyway it was super random that it stopped working but I had a feeling Windows 8 was the culprit....I honestly don't like it at all because it is not compatible with things I am required to use but have found work arounds for it it all thanks to awesome people like YOU! Thanks again....I was getting annoyed using AIM on my phone while I continued to search for a solution. I actually like the version you recommeded better anyway!
