PC Parts: AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ 2.21 GHz
I use the AIM add-on DeadAIM, which allows me to customize my AIM by blocking buddy list advertisements, logging my chats, having tabbed IM windows, etc. DeadAIM can only be used with some of the older versions of AIM, AIM 5.4 is the latest version DeadAIM is compatible with. I'm not sure if it was after Windows installed an update or when I installed Skype that I got the system notice:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Buffer overrun detected!
Program: C:\Program Files\AIM\aim.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's
internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must
be terminated."
I tried restoring my system to an earlier point and AIM worked again for about 2 days. I've uninstalled Skype and a few other programs I thought might have contributed to the problem, I've restored my system several times, I've re-installed AIM, I've checked my anti-virus program (Avira) to make sure it wasn't any viruses or trojans. I installed newer versions of AIM and they all worked fine. I downloaded HJT, but I'm not a programmer or a wiz with a computer, so none of it really makes too much sense to me. If anyone has had and/or knows how to fix this problem please, I'd really appreciate the help.
-Thanks
