What version of AIM is your girlfriend running? What OS is she running?

You could also try using the "Clone AIM" feature from the + menu and see if that works better ...

She is using the newest version of AIM, and she has millenium OS. I cant use the + menu, because it is not there. When i do clone AIM+, it just clones the old AIM, not +. there's no menu's of +, or anything. I have AIM+ on my computer and it is fine. I dont know why it doesnt work

Can you get AIM+ to run on your girlfriend's computer at all, or are you simply have problems trying to clone?

If AIM+ is not launching correctly, your shortcut may be pointing to the regular AIM.exe file rather than the AIM+.exe file. Make sure you're running AIM+ rather than simply AIM.

If you're just having problems launching a clone, rather than trying to double-click AIM to start a clone, try launching one from the + menu on the original instance of AIM.

I beleive the version nubmer your using helps, since may people still think the "current version" is 4.7 and not aware of the many (5 or so) that have been released since.

Same thing here

I have the same problem. When I try to open AIM+, it gives me an error that says that it "Failed trying to clone AIM(finding mutex)". It doesn't add a special menu or anything like that. I also run Win ME, so perhaps that may be the problem?

Are you trying to clone AIM, or run AIM+? Your post is a little confusing in that regard ...

Your problem intrigues me, please tell me exactly what version of AIM you are using.

It seems very likely that your problem could be fixed by upgrading to a newer version (4.7, the latest official release, or the newest beta - 4.8 -- either should be fine).

I am still very intersted in knowing if this is the problem, though, so I hope you get a chance to check your AIM version number and get back to me!

Well, I am running 4.8 . However, I have used an ADs remover in a previous version before upgrading. I dunno if this would do anything, but still its wort mentioning

Yeah I can't get AIM+ to work either.. I downloaded it but when I double click for it to run only AIM comes up.
