dtb Posted April 5, 2003 Posted April 5, 2003 Can anyone help me to stop AOL Instant messenger from starting automatically whenever I start Outlook Express? My son, who uses AOL IM, somehow added this "feature" and I haven't been able to disable it. Quote
Guest ThunderRiver Posted April 5, 2003 Posted April 5, 2003 You need to go to Outlook Express options, and there should be an option to disable AOL instant Messenger on start up. Quote

SonicDragon Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Yes, if you get sick on AIM, try Trillion. (that's what i use). It's just like aim, except is prettier, no adds, and can connect to AIM, Yahoo, IRC, MSN and ICQ.Trillian Quote
