AIM Errors

There are three common AIM error alert messages; AIM caused an invalid page fault in module xprt.dll, AIM caused an invalid page fault in module xmltok.dll, and AIM cause an invalid page fault in module kernel32. Dll. In a situation like this when user is experiencing this type of AIM errors, first user should attempt to start, then restart. If problem persists, user should try uninstalling then re-install the AOL Instant Messenger program. This may solve the AIM error alert message issue. User should confirm that Windows 98 had not recently been installed as this may be the cause of the problem. User needs to acknowledge if the AOL instant messenger program has ever run correctly and which version of AIM they are using.

There are system requirements for AIM 5.9 and the requirements are free version of AOL IM  account with the software, Windows running on  Pentium processor with Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 or Windows XP, or a Mac PPC that runs OS x.1, OS 9 that has carbon lib 1/3/1 o r later, 128 MB  free space on hard drive,  the installation requires 40MB temporary space , 56.6 modem, The Internet connection must allows for full Internet usage and not just be a free email, 800 x 600 resolution, with at least 256 colors and sound card (full duplex).

The amount of ram user has in their system might be a problem causing the AIM errors. Put in some more ram. Or, format the drive but make sure user has proper Windows 98 disk. Assuming the ram is the problem another good version of AIM to use would be available from visiting oldversion.com for past AIM installs. User should pick the one they want and check out the system requirements to find the best AIM version for their system and needs.

User should research AIM error messages according to their specific platform such as Windows, Macintosh, Linux or Quick Buddy. Common AIM errors for Windows are “you cannot add another buddy to your buddy list”. This means that you are trying to exceed the allowed 150 buddy limit . Another AIM error in relation to Windows may be, “The same screen name appears more than once in a group. Please correct or delete the highlighted item.” User is attempting to add a buddy who is already in his buddy list. User should select “delete” in order to remove one of the copies of the buddies name from that group. “The screen name is too short or contains invalid characters and cannot be added.” is another common AIM error alert message. Screen names have to be a minimum of  two characters in length. They have to be composed only of numbers, letters and spaces.  In addition, they have to start using  a letter.

An AIM error alert message commonly associated with Macintosh users is map inconsistent with operation. User needs to reinstall AIM.

If AIM is not working on users Linux machine, user can get sound to work. AIM uses esd library for the sound. On recent Mandrake and Debian GNU releases there were no lisesd.so linked to real esd library in usr/lib directory. To make the sound work, user needs to enter the following: in –s libest.so 0 libest.so. When user downloads AIM, unintelligible messages may appear on the screen. User should realize the browser is attempting to display a file it cannot interpret. User should simply click on the link and choose ‘save as’ to download the AIM.
