Pissed How can I...

...force AIM to stop loading along with OE everytime I open it?

It's the kind of thing that made me hate MSM!!

I prefer Trillian, I only downloaded AIM to be able to chat with my GF using the mike, since Trillian doesn't have that feature.

Help!!

OE, options - general.

Uncheck "Automatically log on to AOL Instant Messenger".

Heh - I just noticed that my OE contact list has my AIM buddy list in it too. Fixed that in AIM by going to Prefs, sign on/off, and unchecking "Make AIM my default instant messenging program".

Looks like the AOL/M$ wars are still going.

The first option was already unchecked.

But the second tip did the trick.

Thanx.
