AIM is closed by Windows

[Guest]

Whenever my daughter tries to sign onto her AIM account she gets the
following message:

"aim.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need
to restart the program.

An error log is being created."

I have uninstalled and installed AmericaOnline Instant Messenger to no
avail. Can anyone tell me how the error is being created?

I'm afraid you'll need to contact AOL's tech support for resolution
of problems with (or caused by) their product; Microsoft has no
control over AOL's product quality (or lack thereof).

A file or files associated with AIM may have become corrupt or damaged. Try
uninstalling the program, then downloading and installing the latest
version. Otherwise, the suggestion to contact AOL support is a good idea
and send them a copy of the log file generated.

What version? I noted that the local account has to be a "power" user in
order to use the newer versions of AIM (or standard cant recall the exact
terminology at this time)
