aim password not working?

so i installed windows 8 on my cpu, and once I installed aim it keeps saying that my password for my account is incorrect

The password is correct because I'm able to sign on to my account on my laptop, and I created a new account that works on the desktop, but I just can't access my main account while on my desktop

I've even changed the passwords to no success

Update:

my problem isn't with my aim account, or the password

that's working fine. I can log on using other programs and everything

what I'm wondering is if there's an issue between aim and windows 8 that's making it not possible to use AIM

    You need to contact technical support at AIM. We cannot fix personal password/account issues.

    There does seem to be an issue with the Windows Developer Preview and AIM. I am having the same issue as you.

    It's a problem with the AIM client itself. The only current workaround would be to use a multi-client like Trillian(http://www.trillian.im/) until Aol gets their client updated.

    Take care!
