Same exact problem despite having 9.32 gigs worth of free space.

Win XP Pro

Running newest version of AIM and AIM +.

However, scandisk was run because PC was shut down bad, and many AIM files were "truncated" or something or another. Also, cache files were also deleted in that scandisk, saying they were "corrupt".

No idea if any of that helps, and I've also tried reinstalling AIM and AIM+, but nothing works. I do not have another partition on this PC so I can't reinstall AIM+ in a different partition.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I use the clone feature very often.

THanks

Try running scandisk to see if you have any bad sectors on your hard drive. If you are running Windows XP or 2000, try disabling drive indexing.

damn had to register just to say this

try completely un installing your aim, and then installing it to different directory. that worked fine for me. plus after all if nothing works u can always format and i'm sure it'll work then :)

login with administrator rights and give your account complete control to either the aim95 and aim+ directories (or both) you should also put the history folder in a directory where you have write privilages. let me know if it works
