Me and my buddy always been using "classic" AIM that lets us paste picture into chat box right away from cutting image right out of microsoft paint or copy image off internet. But lately classic AIM not working anymore I think because of AOL trying to close / rejecting classic AIM protocol connection. We don't like new AIM.. it works, but: 1. It doesn't accept bmp - meaning we have to save to computer, open infraview, save as gif/jpg/png then we can sent it 2. To start senting picture, we have to let it open second window.. image gallery, we don't notice that new picture is being sent until we tell eachother "hey, i've sent you picture" and have to tell which picture is new one "file name called catfail_0915153.jpg" It's dumb and too much hassle on new AIM... is there any IM program out there that lets us use paste picture right into chat box (and free?). Or at least does sent bmp picture without to having save as gif/jpg/png?

You could try MSN/Windows Live Messenger. It does let you paste pictures right into the chat box, even those copied straight from MS Paint.

but Windows Live Messenger does not work with the AIM network btw neither Pidgin nor Miranda allows this also IMO the classic AIM is shut out because of security vulnerabilities that have since been fixed; I also remember it being riddled with spyware and then I migrated to Miranda and Pidgin, two free multi-protocol chat clients
