How do I get aim to work for Vista?

I just got a new computer but I can't get aim to install on it for some odd reason.

Make sure its the x64 version if you have 64 bit Vista?

I just installed it on my new laptop last night. I had no problem. Go to aim.com and click huge ass 'install' button.

If you paid for Vista, you overpaid. The only way to make up for it is to download Vista Ultimate. ;)

Well, I just install aim pro. It seems to work. Tho it is just a a bunch of icons.
Aim keep crashing. I can't stay online very long. It sucks.
