Hey, I've been running Windows Vista Beta 1 for a couple of weeks now, and I just can't seem to get AIM working on it. It installs OK, and then it starts up once. But once I restart the computer, it doesn't load. The process loads, but takes up 0 CPU time in task manager. I don't think I'm the only one with this problem, there have been mentions of it on other forums, but no one seems to have found a workaround.

Any ideas? other than wait for the retail release, of course :-Þ

Download AIM Triton from aim.com, you'll need to run the installer in windows xp compatibility mode with admin access or it won't run. once installed it works fine though.
