Aim Convos

[johnq86]

is there any way to retrieve old ims?

With regular AIM? No.

I use DeadAIM (its an add-on), and it keeps logs of all my convos.

Gah! Not DeadAIM! I made the mistake of buying that. NO real customer support, and not all of the feature of the free AIMutation. AIMutation is the way to go, with real-time logging.

Buying? Who said anything about buying?

I know, never said you did, said I did. Hate it so much it&#39;s not even worth pirating. AIMutation all the way&#33; Gotta love the skinning, too&#33;

sparsely likes GAIM.
but I doubt you can retrieve chat logs if you didn&#39;t save them locally...

I would give AIMutation a shot, but I set up all my buddy aliases, and I don&#39;t want to do them all over.

There&#39;s a DeadAIM Alias to AIMutation converter on the AIMutation website. You just need to use DeadAIM to save your aliases to a file first. If you have an older version that can&#39;t do it, they&#39;re stored in the registry somewhere. Export them, and then import them into the appropriate AIMutation folder in the registry. Takes a little searching, but I found it when I had to do a long time ago.

Hmm.. in order to run the DeadAIM Alias to AIMutation converter, I&#39;ll need to download Microsoft .Net Framework, which is 23.6MB, and I&#39;m on dial-up.

[DWells55]

Owch. You could do it manually via the registry like I did...
