You using a firewall?

If you use AOL or another similar ISP with parental settings, it wont work also..

yea i have a firewall but i disabled it and still have the same problem. My firewall has been always enabled and everything used to work great.. i just dunno what happened. and i dont have any parental control or anything like that..

What ISP are you using? Have you checked to see if you need a proxy? Or, you could be trying to use a proxy when you don't need it.

Also, check your individual programs. They may be set to use a different ISP's settings...especially if you recently changed ISPs or signde up for the first time. Been there, done that.

Besides, you ought to download Trillian (free version). It can handle all of your IM programs itself...no need to launch them all.

Check Download.com.
