That would be server lag..

Meaning it's caused by AIM.. and AOL.

It's probably only temporary. For now, deal with it.

Try changing the address that your AIM connects to.

did urs work for a while then all of a sudden just start delaying the messages even tho ur computer is supposed to be fast?

Mine started doing this two days ago too. My accounts work elsewhere and the ResNet guys at my school can't seem to figure it out either. I cant even carry on a conversation with this delay. I have tried downloading every version of AIM I can find and it the problem still persists.

its your ISP's connection to aol.

nothing you can do about it except call up your isp and ask what the hell's up with their service that yourr paying for

It's not the isp. My university provides the internet for us and we've tried connecting other computers to my wall jack and the problem still persists. The problem resides inside my computer somewhere but no one can seem to figure out what the hell that problem is. thank you trying to help though. it's appreciated. ugh what a mess this whole thing is

er.. wait, the problem DOES NOT occur when we've hooked other computers to my wall jack. I confused myself for a minute there. Apparently it's just my pc that's doing this.
