I have a problem with my AIM client. When I get a message and the dialog box is minimized its supposed to flash at the bottom until you open it so you know when you have a new message. However, this morning that stopped working, so now I can never tell if ive got a new message and from who. I’ve tried re-booting and re-installing AIM. Anyone know hwat could be wrong?
