I dont know what is happening. I want gaim to work but it does not seem to. Whenever I try to load it it tells me that the connection has been broken and that is it. Either that or it tells me 'Connection Error ' ' has been signed off: Unable to read.' Wait, let's start at the begining. I found out about gaim from you all and I started it up. Git a window up with the title 'Buddy List' and think to myself about haow I should start entirely new accounts (I won't mention how I lost all of the info). So I look at the list to figureout how to do that with gaim. I can see no way to do it with ICQ nor YAHOO! so I close everything down and go to the windows side of my PC and download ICQ (again) and start new accouts up. So I go back to the linux side, start gaim up again, and put all the info into the appropriate spaces, and (badabing-badaboom) . Any ideas as to what I've done wrong. -- <:-)~MIKE~(-:> This message has been scanned for viruses by the VEI Internet Automatic Email Spam and Virus Scanner, and is believed to be free of spam or viruses.
