Whos good with computers...

[Tha Q]

So ya... Something happened... and I was gone for awhile and they let me out and I got back home right? But now my computer is a crackwhore and AIM and YIM won't open up. Now normally this wouldn't be a problem but currently it's my only form of communicating/Sending things too my brother and I need too send him a song. So can anyone help me fix this???

 

[kingjamez]

Re-install the normal version of AIM.Not the AIM Plus thing or withe its called..Just reinstall everything, thats gotta be your 1st move.

Go to Google and research reformatting your computer. I don;t know how to do it, but I know you can find some pretty straightforward directions.

Do you already have adaware ? if not download it and run it and it may help fix your probs..worth a try, any computer should have it anyway. I've had problems opening AIM before and ran it and restarted and worked.

[Memphology]

FBB, but nvm. I doubt oyu have PMs and you dont have AIM. Well, just go there and post, they have tons of people who are good with computers.

You may have a virus...I hope you have an anti-virus program.

When my AIM stopped working, and when I re-installed/downloaded a different version it still didn't work I downloaded Triton and it worked fine.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Combs @ Nov 8 2006, 05:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Do you already have adaware ? if not download it and run it and it may help fix your probs..worth a try, any computer should have it anyway.

I would suspect adware is the problem here. First move is to run a scan- ad-aware is a free one you can download and it is quite good. Like everyone said uninstalling can fix alot of problems with programs. If neither of these work try using you anti virus program to detect any virus's you may have. If you don't have an anti Virus you can download AVG free, for free.

I have used it at different times and always found it to be quite good. If none of these fix the issue PM ME and I will try and run you through some more advanced things

[Combs]

Why is Triton a POS? It took a few days to get used to, but it's tons better now when looking back. Tabbed browsing being the main reason why. I also love how when somebody IM's me even 3 days later, it still shows our last conversation. Away messages are easier to edit. To view other peoples away all you have to do is cursor their name..What exactly do you lose with Triton? The only thing I see is that it's a bigger program and for those of you that have little ram, could cause problems. I got 1gb tho so I'm good.And Yeah the cheerleader is a hottie. I don't even think shes 18 yet so she's just gonna get hotter. I'm debating if shes hotter than Ali Larter(the mom on the show).

Mostly I just hate that most stuff that works on classic AIM doesn't work right in Triton. The stuff you listed doesn't interest me at all.Edit: And how easy do you possibly need typing away messages to be? All I do is right click, left click, type. It's not difficult with classic or anything.

 

[Combs]

I didn't say it was difficult. But it's one of the things which has improved.The tabbed browsing is the huge thing for me. I cant stand having 8 AIM conversations opened and having to go through them quickly..find the right person and blah blah. With Triton, they are all tabbed on the side one 1 box and you can click back and forth with ease and know when other people sent messages or are typing even when you're in a new box. The blinky stuff of the previous AIM doesn't do it for me. Send and recieving pictures/files is also a lot better as well.I just don't see how people can say Triton sucks. It doesn't suck, it's a huge improvement over the old AIM. I just think people get used to something and don't want to switch. To each it's own tho.

 

[Heatfan32]

I don't use Triton because it's a ram killer, slows your start up like hell.

My school (45000 plus enrollment) had triton, but it blew balls so they changed to AIM express or whatever, and people complained, so they went back to classic. Probably 19 out of 20 people I have talked to hate Triton. The only ones I've known that have it on their computer are too inept to get their AIM classic to work right. The only positive I have heard is tabbed browsing, which as I said exists in other more functional versions.

 

[Combs]

Yeah I must admit, I'm inept to run AIM classic. It's sooo complicated, way more than Triton right? It's good to know 19 out of 20 people prefer AIM classic though. Thanks for that info.Again.The only negative to it..is it's a bigger program and requires more ram. As I said, I have a pretty good computer so it's not noticeable on my end. Any other hacks on it make no sense as it has a ton more features, looks better, and is easier to use.

Still hot as hell and I can't wait until she's 18 either!
