I have this error showing up for me now. When i look in my services, I see that there are two Zope instances and I'm assuming that these are conflicting and giving this error as I've never had AIM or gAIM on my computer. If anyone comes up with a solution to this besides uninstalling AIM, please let me know. Thanks.
gAIM is your friend
I have encountered this error within the same context, with both AIM and gAIM installed. I have uninstalled AIM and that was OK. So, you can use gAIM without being annoyed with this problem.
