Family Computer -- AIM crashes and I'm in the doghouse

Captain Newbie · Apr 15, 2005

Hello, Middle Brother Newbie is having trouble with his AOL instant Messenger and I'm in the doghouse for it.

I installed the new nVidia drivers (71.84) which I promptly rolled back at everyone's insistence; I'm trying to explain to them that it might be a good idea to just reformat the drive since this IS a two-year-old copy of XP.

Any ideas?

Reformat

Two years...damn, going on three months and this is a record, try system restore.

I guess you have already tried reinstalling it right, check the event log for error that might help you find what the problem is.

The odds are he's ****ed something up somewhere; regardless I take the fall.

System restore might do it, I'll give that a shot tomorrow AM.

Thanks.
