when I try to enable an AIM screen name it says the SN is disabled and " Received unexpected response from "api.oscar.aol.com/aim/startOSCARSession " .
Having all sorts of fun with comps lately, with my desktop lacking drivers (to run the internet, among other things) and other things happening with my laptop with the dreaded msacm32.dll missing / corrupted.
Might have to get Trillian or the actual AIM program in the meantime, we'll see.

I got the same problem (nobody else I know did, so this is the first I've seen it on someone else's machine).
Go into Edit Account (accounts -> aim -> edit account), then click on the Advanced tab and un-check "Use clientLogin". That fixed it for me.
Disabling SSL also works, but that might have side effects regarding security. That was the first thing I tried, but the Pidgin site recommends the clientLogin change.
