aol instant messenger incompatible

Microsoft. You folks better fix that. LOL.
I'm getting the error. It says AOL Instant Messenger is not compatible with this version of Windows. For more details, contact AOL.
This has to be a cute little feature.
I tried AIM Triton (5.9 ; the latest and best) And I also tried AIM 5 version .3595.

How about asking AOL if and when they will be making a version compatible with Vista.......? It's not Microsoft's problem ;)

It is AOHell's problem to make their software compatible with the new version of Windows, not the other way around.

Here's where it gets more interesting.
It does WORK, it just doesnt work under my named account. It only works under "Administrator"
The plot thickens.

I don't mind AIM... it's a solid protocol. The problem is AOL's supplied client is awful. (I use Gaim.)
