Instant messenging problem

ultima301 · 06-8-2004, 04:13 PM

I've been using DeadAIM for a while now, and its been running very smoothly. However, recently a strange glitch began to happen. Every time I try to send a message AIM freezes for a few seconds. If i click the windows the "not responding" message comes up. After a few seconds it unfreezes and the message is sent. This does not happen when my friends IM me back. The same problem happens with DeadAIM, regular AIM, and even Trillian. I don't think its a memory problem, but I don't know how to fix this. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Your computer could possibly be infected with Spyware....that's one cause I could think of. You can get something like ad-aware. Also, you could have a trojan in your computer so i suggest getting Trojan Remover...and just don't click on popups...because if you have before that's what could have caused the problem.

That picture put a strong image of someone trading a dell computer for my soul. Did anyone else get that feeling?

That picture reminds me of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
