[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 324309, member: 20564"] hmm, I've had windows AIM users show up on my iChat contacts list, and been able to chat successfully with them too. Not sure if they use XP or not, but I imagine they would. I rarely use iChat, since so few people I know use AIM (or macs for that matter :P) but it seems you only need to add their username. That's all I did and it has worked fine for me. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what else you could do to troubleshoot this problem. Hmm, iChat help suggests that you ensure your friends are using an up to date version AIM, as it might not recognise .mac accounts, or vice versa. [/QUOTE]
