I have a problem with my computer. I'm running windows XP and i've been
running the same install for well over a year, which is great for me. I'd
like to try to keep problems under control instead of just formatting.
Well, i found a problem i can't fix. I'm using the newest version of AOL's
AIM. For some reason, when i start my computer, AIM will open and
mysteriously close before logging on. Ocassionally it will have enough time
to log in, but does ulitimately close. Could this be something running in
the background? I dont like jumping to conclusions about viruses and
spyware, but something is closing this program. What ideas do you have
about troubleshooting this?

thanks!
