I installed AIM+ and like it. It removes ads from AOL's Instant Messanger.

Update: I uninstalled it. It greyed out my AOL buddies list. Now my AIM window only shows a 2" high list of buddies. I left a message on the AIM+ support board, but it crashed.

I guess it's time to try Trillian?

OK, so I downloaded Trillian and found out I had to update my Winsock2 components to get it to run. So I figured, hey why not. I ran the Microsoft install and then ran Trillian again. Now it won't connet to AOL IM.

So I exited and re-ran AOL IM and now it works fine and displays fine. It has the ads though. Ugh!

I wonder if it was that stupid comet cursor that automatically installed itself on my PC recently?
