AIM 5.5 Blocked: Workaround
9.1.2010
As I have mentioned before, AOL was planning on blocking AIM 5.5. Thanks to PimpUigi for posting the comment that AOL finally has blocked access.
I went ahead and gave it a shot, sure enough, I got that warm error ding, and this message

But luckily PimpUigi also provided links to bypass this error. All it is, is the replacement aimres.dll that you copy over in your c:\program files\aim folder. I tested it and it worked just fine.
