Hi All,

I hope someone can help me with this problem.

AIM will not work and I have spent a week trying to figure out why. The
program opens with the AIM Buddy List and the Chat window on the desk top.
When I try to send a message and type a message into the massage box the
chat
box remains the same. No Chats remains as the header of the box and my
message goes to my buddy but does not show as a chat in my chat box. I do
not receive the reply.

I have reinstalled iChat, trashed the preference files, gotten rid of all
the
computer security ware and check everything else I can think of without
success.

Don't know that this has anything to do with it but AIM was working the
night
before Teranews stopped working because the yearly subscription was up

The Console message:

8/18/08 4:15:16 PM iChat[183] *** +[NSCFDictionary time]: unrecognized
selector sent to class 0xa0171720


Something's hosed. That message is a pretty explicit indicator that
something's corrupted somewhere. My first suggestion would be to
reinstall iChat, but I see you've already done that. Part of me wonders
*how* you performed that reinstall. It might be informative to compare
the two different copies of iChat (iMac vs. laptop) and also to confirm
that the same failure occurs under a different user account on the iMac.
But I think it will.

You might try running Adium to see if it functions correctly. Then
you've tentatively ruled out everything outside of iChat. And you've got
Adium as a fall-back until you get iChat working again.
