First, you'll need to go to http://www.aim.com/ and click on the orange Download AIM button. Once you have downloaded and either saved the file and run it later by double clicking the file name, or by running it directly when prompted, once it is installed, you'll have to create a "screen name" (the name you'll want people to know you by--an alias of sorts) and a password (something secure--it's best to mix upper and lower case letters and include at least one number, but make sure it's something you'll be able to remember--NEVER give out your password to anyone!). After its checked your screen name against others already in the system, to make sure there aren't any duplicates, you're ready to go. All you need to now is add your friends' screen names and to give them yours. Happy Messenging!
