so when I log in now to AIM, using AIM or Trillian or anything like that, all of my buddies are offline. I was logged on to 2 different locations yesterday, one at work and one at home then i signed off at work and came home...everyone was offline. I signed on iwth a different screenname and I could see everyone online....now im at work again and everyone still shows up offline....has anyone see this issue?

thanks

I would try uninstalling AIM and then reinstalling AIM. I would try that first
Also do you run spyware detection programs, such as Ad-aware and spybot. Is the computer protected by any anti-virus?

Good Luck
