AOL IM won't connect on new Laptop - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Well, it WAS connecting until today. Getting "server errors" on both the regular AOL IM client as well as the AIM Express web page. My other computer (on same wireless modem) connects fine.

I checked my firewall and it allows AOL through. AOL IM didn't even work when I turned the firewall off.

SHould I just reinstall it?

EDIT: I installed 5.9 (i was on 6.0) and it's working fine now. Maybe 6.0 isn't jiving with Vista yet?

6.0 / Triton is garbage, just stick with 5.9 if you're cool with it

6.0 has nice features (all chats in one window, for example) but it wasn't playing nice
