hmm..... well i think i remebered i did something. umm... b4 i had installed a old versoin of aim 5.5.x and it worked, but it was still too new. so i downloaded... from oldversion.com some versions of aim 5.5.x and b4 i could finsh downloading my nod32 detected a threat and deleted it. this didnt happen b4, so i was puzzle. still a fresh computer with out that many apps on it, i turned of nod32 and redownloaded the file. double click, in the blink of an eye, it dissapeared offa my desktop. O.O! okaaay.... notin seemed to be going beserk tho. did couple scans, with ewido and panda scan. so turned back on nod32 and everything was fine. after that, i was unable to boot up the aim versions' that i downloaded. could this be the problem? should i reformat? i took a look on their site forum and i found this: http://www.oldversion.com/talk/showthread.php?t=3154 then i found another solution page: http://www.oldversion.com/talk/showthread.php?t=3143 ^ look at the last post. i might want to give this a try, but where the heck is "Set Program Access and Defaults" button??
