Self-Deleting AIM?
My AIM keeps deleting files that it needs to run after I exit it and shut down my computer. I have to re-install AIM to get it working again. It says there's an error with the AimCoreSvs.dll file and when I check the AIM directory, the file's no longer there. I think AIM is deleting the files. Does anyone know how I can prevent this from happening? It's happened a couple times already..

This only started happening after I installed the new beta version of AIM. I haven't tried running AIM without DeadAIM yet. I re-intalled the version that came out before the beta version but it still happened. (don't remember the version number.. its 5.1.something) I didn't uninstall the beta version of AIM though, I just installed over it. I didn't want to lose any of my away messages.. I just sent a report to the AIM Technical Support. I have scanned my computer with an Anti-Virus program and it didn't find any viruses.

Here's how to backup away messages:jokein wrote:I didn't want to lose any of my away messages
Start --> Run
type in "regedit"
browse to: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\America Online\AOL Instant Messenger(TM)\CurrentVersion\Users\*Your screenname*
File --> Export..
Save the key, making sure you export the selected branch
Just be very careful in the registry. If you delete something by mistake, you could severly mess up your computer. So here's your warning:
Don't delete something unless you know EXACTLY what it is.
Hope that helps. And I'd suggest backing up your away messages, uninstalling completely, then starting fresh.
