Hi...I'm new here, but I need some serious help.
I downloaded AIM quite a long time ago for this Mac. It uses the Mac OSX system, Tiger. AIM worked absolutely fine - beautifully - up until yesterday.
Now the system won't even let me sign on. When I do, it gives me an error window that says "Cannot sign on. A non-specific error occurred." A red message that says "Unknown error" appears under the AIM logo on the sign-in window.
I thought it might be the network, so I waited for awhile and tried to sign back on later. Nothing. I deleted the program off of my computer and reinstalled - CAREFUL to make sure that I was using the official AIM software - only to have it spit back the same error at me. I tried using iChat as well, and iChat cannot access AIM, either. The only thing that would work was AIM Express...so I'm guessing that it wasn't the network.
I've also tried restarting at least five times; that's done nothing. And I've shut my machine down for a few hours, and that didn't yield any results, either. I deleted cookies...I just don't know...
Does anyone have any idea why this may be happening and what I can do to make AIM work again?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
