Sounds like the new AIM may be conflicting with sound drivers maybe? It’s a longshot but it’s AOL for Christ’s sake. I would first try uninstalling the new AIM to see if that helps or try a System Restore. ---

My aim is set like that also…turn it on for a day or two and you’ll learn which people have which sounds…my computer burps and farts from time to time…it’s always someone i know signing in or out. nothing is wrong with your computer…or the software on it…aim just didn’t handle their shit right(as usual) ---
