I'm not sure if anyone can help me out here or not, but it's worth a shot. I've been having issues with AIM Talk. I can't hear my buddy and they can't hear me. It stays on maybe 20-30 seconds and then disconnects. This just started happening last week. Any ideas what the problem might be? The voice chat works on yahoo and MSN, so I'm really not sure it's the computer. Doesn't seem to be the mic either. I did uninstall my router last week cause I didn't need it anymore, but I'm not exactly sure why that would have anything to do with it. I'm also not sure if the problem started before or after I did that. I'm just not sure what's going on. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. Thanks! Oh, by the way....I've tried it behind a firewall and not behind a firewall. Doesn't make any difference. Still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated
