Hey.

I've been using aim for a long time, I suppose. Now, I had always had aim 5.9, the classic one. I recently had to ship out my computer for service, and they replaced my harddrive. So, when I got my computer back witha new drive, I had to re-download aim, and downloaded aim 5.9 again. Ever since, I have had trouble with receiving files.



I can receive individual files, but if someone tries to send me a directory (folder) I cannot accept it. I get a message something along the lines of "You cannot receive transfers of directories (folders)." It suggests compressing the folder, or sending all the files individually.



I never used to have a problem like this. I even uninstalled my new copy of aim, and then reinstalled it again, and the problem is still the same. It's very strange. I have checked all my settings and preferences and such, and nothing seems out of order.



Can anyone help me straighten this out?



Thanks!

this happened to my friend before. he just signed out and signed in again. then he was able to recieve the files. this is just a bug i guess. you should report it to aim and they should fix it. btw you should really get aim 6.1 its really good. dont be stuck in the old days. upgrade to the new.
