my laptop wont let me download aim 6.8? Options

[miszxjojo]

everytime i click on "run" this pops up:

"The installer you are trying to use is a corrupted or incomplete.
This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or virus.

You may want to contact the author of this installer to obstain a new copy.

It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED)"

what should i do? =/

Don't even try to download it, new AIM is garbage.

^LOL.

use meebo instead. you don't have to download anything & works just like AIM.

[miszxjojo]

yeah but sometimes my laptop disconnects me (and its kinda annoying on meebo) and i also wont be able to do my profile stuff =/

Try a third party like Trillian or Gaim or whatever people use these days.

Actually, if you just use AIM, just download an older version. The older versions I remember run much smoother.

the NSIS error explains itself: either your installation file didn't download properlly, it's corrupted, or you have some form of spyware/virus preventing you from installing (which is the most unlikely, imo). you can try downloading again (how's your wireless signal?) or i guess scan for and remove malware.

you could ignore that whole /NCRC thing, as it only means there's a way to bypass the corruption test, and you'd be able to run the install even though it's corrupted. obviously, an unsafe choice.
