If you are one of the many people out there who have problems logging in (stuck at validating) to your account using AOL's new chatting software codenamed Triton, there is finally a fix available! Direct your browser to the official Aim Triton Beta Test site. The question that has the solution is called "Q: I am hanging at the validating stage during the sign on process, what should I do?". This directs you to a link of a .reg file which will make some safe changes to your operating systems registry. Once this is done, restart AIM Triton and you should be able to seamlessly log in! This has worked for me, how has it worked for you?
