So its not allowing you to send IM's at all?

If you don't understand what those are, basically, you have a limit on how fast you can send messages. This is to avoid you spamming/harassing people. There is a "meter" that goes up and down. If it goes too high (you send messages to fast), you will have to wait for an extended period of time before you can send messages again.

This has been happening to me too, but never when I am typing a message. It happens when I haven't responded to someone in quite sometime and haven't been sending messages at all.

Can you copy & paste what it shows you (and the IMs you tried to send), with the timestamps? The whole chunk of everything in the window is important, especially with timestamps.

Excellent! Thanks. I'll try and get my Vista machine going to see if I can duplicate that.

I haven't gotten anything except for ordinary rate limiting.

I did have an interesting thought though. Do you have a buddyicon? If so, go into the AIM preferences and remove/disable your buddy icon and see how things go.
