Gaim - SignOn question


Hi folks,

FedoraCore2
gaim-1.1.4-1.FC2
Browser - Yahoo

I'm running Gaim as IM. I have already registered a ScreenName But each time "sign on" following warning displayed

"You have entered an invalid Screen Name or password. Please try again. If you are an AOL member and you also use AOL Instant Messenger with the same Screen Name, you must use your AOL password at Screen Name Service instead of your AIM password. If you are not an AOL member and you've forgotten your password, click 'I forgot my password'"

The ScreenName and Password entered were correct. I tried several times. I also tried to re-open a new account with the same ScreenName but not allowed saying the ScreenName already existing.

Kindly advise how to fix this problem.

TIA

B.R.

I thought with AIM, and since you didn't mention it, you have to respond to some type of email challenge that they send you within 72 hours of signing up. Something like that. If not, I have no idea.
