Why I Do Not Use AIM+
After only being online 2 days and 12 hours...aim is using his much vm
Incase the picture didnt work... 1,055,204 K.....next being explorer.exe with only 40,516 K
Another reason why I think developers of AIM+ should simply make it compatible with 5.0+, and leave it alone

That's odd that AIM+ would be using more than 2,000 K of memory (which mine is currently using).
Are you sure it's AIM+ and not AIM? Are you using the latest version of AIM+, 2.2.1? Some of the older versions did experience memory leaks that were subsequently plugged in later versions.

I don't have any problems like that.
Currently, AIM+ is using 52k RAM and 2,642k VM. AIM is using 16,836k RAM and 14,212k VM. I've been online for almost three days.
As far as programming goes, I doubt that's a problem in AIM+'s coding. It's probably just Windows. We all know just how ineffecient WinXP is with memory..
EDIT: How many resources are AIM+ using? I don't see it in your window.

No...It isn't AIM+..its AIM...everytime i've used 4.8...its done that..which is why i can't use aim+ ( which i'd like to ), I thought everyone had the little memory leak probably with 4.8... ..maybe its just me that always has it
Oh..and yes i have the latest version of AIM+..had rather ...back to DeadAIM *sigh*...lol

Yeah, I remember that bug. It's silly AIM 4.8 in Windows XP and 2000. Even though it was using all that virtual memory and more, I just let it run wild and it never really dragged my computer down too much. A quick close always fixed the memory leak until you signed back on and left it there for awhile.

Yeah..it didnt slow my computer down any..just aim froze up everytime i IMed anyone..and it started doing that after being online..probably 15+ hours...so i was just like screw it lol..the only thing i like about deadaim is the tabbed windows...they're quite useful..other than that..i'd much rather be using AIM+
yeah i see the VM problem as well and i have AIM 5.2.3074 & XP...it seems to happen after beign online for at least a day...sometimes it doesnt get racked up until 3 days...sometimes it never goes above 20megs VM...i also see this on my friend's computer with 4.8.2790 & XP...one time i saw his VM was up to 7xmegs...i was like "WTF?!?!"
i dont see how this could be tied into AIM+ though...both my friend and i use AIM+ but i really dont see any reason why AIM+ would make AIM use lotsa VM...guess i havent learned somethin yet :/ maybe master jedi can enlighten me?
