i think he's asking for the specific text of the error message.
Riiiight riiight, just keepin ya sharp.
This little box with the aim logo in the upper lefhand corner appears, it has a huge white lowercase letter I in a big blue circle and the text itself is in a gray shaded box it says Unknown error. Try again later
I'm like try what again later??? It applies my settings just fine.
Do you know if you're using the latest version of the AIM software? Or are you using trillian, or something like that?
It's the old fashioned one like 5. something but, I mean I just downloaded it a few weeks ago.
