Big-O Software

this was my first time using aim+, and wen i opened it i got all these AIM+Preferences, i set all them and hit ok.
Then i get a little popup that says 'Enter the path to your aim executable'
Wat is my AIM executable path
Wat do i do
Someone please help me and if u cud explain it to me like i was an idiot id appreciate it

The Path is Most Likley "C:\Program Files\AIM95\aim.exe" It is the Path to AIM, Simply Put

I think since AIM v.5.2.3290 (or could be before that), the directory that AIM installs to was "C:\Program Files\AIM". So the path could also be "C:\Program Files\AIM\aim.exe".

Nope... It's aim95... I believe it used to mean (Windows) 95...

I don't know then, for me AIM installs into "c:\program files\aim". But then, it only happened to me when I fully uninstalled an older version of AIM and installed 5.2.3290 and .3292.

...Their is nothing stopping you from changing the install path...

I'm sure that's the "issue" (If it can be called a issue).

it probably installs in aim instead of aim95...this happens to me sometimes to when i already have the aim95 folder on my computer

MINE STILL ISNT WORKING!!!!! I typed in C:\Program Files\AIM95\aim.exe just like it said and it still goes, Enter the path to ur aim executable. I also tried un-installing then re-installing AIM+. and i can't run regualar AIM bc I don't have it anymore. This all happened when I went to sign on AIM+ and it asked me if I wanted an updated version, so I said yes. Then I got on, and DeadAim wasn't working....so I ran that.....then I got this popup all the time: "Runtime Error! Program C:\programfiles\aim95\aim.exe. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contatct the application's support system for more information." that is when I uninstalled,then re-installed. I don't know what to do!!! Please help asap!!! thank you.

That's your problem. You need AIM. AIM+ does not replace AIM. Think of it like a WinAMP plugin--it enhances the already existing program.





Download and install AIM 4.8.2790. You can find it at http://www.aimfilez.com

Maybe Some People Don't Understand The Concepet of An Add-On...

I was just telling my mom about this when she told me she deleted regualar AIM a few months ago....so if that is true how has it been working?? anyways, I downloaded reg. AIM and when it was done, this popped up: "an installation error has been detected. Please reinstall AIM. if this problem persists, try installing AIM into an empty folder.
The build number of module: C:\program files\aim95\CoolSecNss.dll is: 1849 and the required build is: 1744."
Do you think my computer just has random annoying viruses on it? And I should take care of that b4 I go and try to un- and re-install everything? I don't understand why this is happening...I wish I understood computers! Thanx again.

sorry another question......if I uninstall then reinstall all these aim clients, will all of my info be ereased? like buddy list, away messages, etc? Thanks.

About the error: Just download AIM again. And make sure you download AIM 4.8.2790 from the aforementioned website.


As for your other question: Yes, it will all be erased UNLESS you backed it all up. In order to do that, you need to dive into the Registry, which isn't a good idea unless you know EXACTLY what you're looking for and/or doing.

I Would Suggest That You Uninstall Anything Having to do With AIM. Then install everything clean, and your mom couldn't have possibly deleted AIM, or AIM+ would NOT have even started, you would have gotten an error message.
