but just from basic thinking, maybe ya gotta extract the viewer from the same directory that AIM+ is in?

i dunno

No. It gets the AIM+ path from the registry.

hkey_current_user\software\big-o\aim+
(defaullt) = Path to AIM+

Timeless, check to make sure you have that key in your registry and it specifies the correct path to AIM+. Also make sure they key type is REG_SZ and not REG_EXPAND_SZ (it shouldn't be this, but it might be).

Also, the self-extractor uses the windows scripting host to read from the registry (the viewer uses API). You'll need to have windows scripting host present on your machine. Some anti-virus programs will prevent other programs from accessing the registry using WSH. So I guess I'll add my registry access module to the installer, which will increase the size of the download yet again...

Personly I just blame the problem on windows ME. Since it cause many problems by it self

Is that from the installer, or when you run the program?

it when I run Setup.exe

Ok...that's weird. You shouldn't have that problem. I'll check it out later. For the time being, I'll send you the viewer in a ZIP file. Just extract it to your AIM+ directory.

Were you using the old version before this one? Is this new to this version?

The Newest Version.

I'm getting something too. I'm not getting a message, but I get the sound like there was a program error. It just doesn't load period. However, it runs the first time after it was installed, just not again.

...I think you broke something..

I installed the new version on all my computers without incident...I dunno what happened.

Do you have the last release before this new one on your computer still? I overwrote the old one when I downloaded the new zip...and I wouldn't mind having my history viewer working again..

I overwrote it and I tried dowloading the .zip file too but neither of them works

Walker, are you using the lastest AIM beta?

I think I figured out the problem. I had the latest AIM beta. It wasn't working, but now I put back on AIM 5.2.3139, and it works. I think that beta has something to do with it not working right.

Big-O Software

Do you use/like my viewer?
