AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) - 6.9.15.1

Has anyone else experienced a problem where video chat is broken between these two clients?

most major problem is i cant click hyperlinks, no idea why, but in 5.9 i wuz fine, updated to 6.0 and none worked. deleted it and reinstalled, no help. if you are experiencing this problem or were and found a fix plz lemme kno, i cant fix it and i think its a registry issue. im running xp home sp2 on a toshiba laptop, and have never had a real problem with it.

One year without updates, this piece of crap will obviously remain crap.

The latest AIM download (WinXP)includes AOL Explorer, which I didn't want, being an extremely satisfied Firefox user. So I look up in the help on how to remove AOL Explorer and it tells you to use Windows uninstall via the control panel. That's very cool...exept the only problem with this is that you either delete AIM completely or you sit down and shut up while AOL Explorer launches every $%^&#-ing time during startup. AOL cannot only kiss my ass, they may stare longingly at it as I walk away from them for the last time. I should have waited and bought a Mac with iChat.

I am envisioning a chat session where my little sister is chatting away with someone she met online and that person begins to make sexual advances. Instead of her having to take time to get offline, remember everything that was said during the conversation and only armed with that person's screen name and testimony of the conversation that took place, she could simply click a button on that chat session window which would pull in the aim user handle of both parties, the contents of the conversation window, as well as the server which initiated the chat and the remote ip of both parties involved, do a whois on the isp of those ip addresses, and automaticly post that information to a online form such as the one found at https://secure.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/CybertipServlet?LanguageCountry=en_US.

I realize there may implications to doing something like this such as abuse by anyone having a particular bias against another but with the ability (according the aim sdk) to read the contents of chat session window without user interaction, I can forsee a system where the conversation in question can be processed and assigned a severity level to help drive traffic down, I can also see a disclaimer for the user that is flagging the conversation to have to agree that the concern is a valid one.
