When receiving an IM the sound comes up that we are being IM'ed but nothing is written. When we try to IM to someone we type a word & click send. I hear a slight beeping (blocking?) sound but nothing shows up.

I have uninstalled & reinstalled countless times. I have turned Norton firewall off & on. I have done SpyBot, Adaware & Norton scans. I am at my wits end with this!

Any & all help would be greatly appreciated!
