I think the same thing happened to me.

Use an older version.
Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.6GHz on Water | 8GB DDR2 | 2x 74GB Raptor RAID0 | 250GB Storage | P5E | 2900XT @ 850 Core | DVD-RW | 2x 24" Widescreen LCD | Saitek Eclipse | Logitech G5

No one has any right to force data on you

If it is not true for you, it isn't true.

Have you tried Gaim yet?

I have been using it for a bit now and really like it

I have, only problem is that it cant direct connect and send files to aim 5.5 latest version, so i'm back to aim.
