 Problem Installing AIM So, I just got a Mac, and I'm trying to download AIM, but whenever I do, it comes up as a QuickTime file. So then, I tried deleting Quicktime off my comp...and AIM opens in Excel. WTF?! I have no clue what to do. If anybody could help that would be awesome. I have a MacBook Pro, and yes I was selecting the Mac Version of AIM  |

| May I recommend Adium in place of AIM for AOL Instant Messages? Adium also supports a variety of other protocols like MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Jabber, GoogleTalk, MySpaceIM, etc. Or you could even use iChat which comes with your Mac preinstalled. Either of the two will get you better results than the AIM client which is horribly outdated for the Mac.

| From what I've read, Adium 2.0 will have support for video. Definitely looking forward to that one as it would be nice to videoconference with family in other states.
