AIM Randomly uses 100% of CPU Time
I have an Athlon XP 1800, and aim+ uses 100% of the cpu, every once in a while. It causes music to skip, and it just sucks. Anybody else?

Please post more information, as I have not yet experienced this.
When does this most often happen (i.e., what are you doing with AIM? many windows open, just opening a window, are your windows maximized, do you have transparency on, do you have a lot of text in the IM window).
Also, what OS are you using, what version of AIM and AIM+.
Thanks!

i've seen the same thing atleast a few times, but i think its the aim exe that does it...cant remember. the way to tell is to ctrl+alt+del and look at the processes window, then sort by cpu time. well, thats how you do it on a win2k box, so it probably works the same in xp.
ofcourse, i've also seen windows media player do the same thing, so i think its a microsuck problem.

uses 100% CPU usage
I'm having the same problem as most of you out there. I'm running a 1.0 ghtz AMD athlon with plenty of RAM and a lot of the time it randomly takes up all of my CPU usage. I never have more than 1 or two windows open with not too much in them, and I have to restart and lose whatever I'm doing. In general, my comp runs a lot slower than before I installed AIM+. I run Windows 2000 and AIM version 4.7.2480. Please get back to us.

Do you mean that your computer is running slowly in general since you installed AIM+, or only when you're running AIM+? Have you tried running AIM without AIM+ to see if this problem occurs without AIM+ now, as opposed to what happened before you installed AIM+? Do you have transparency turned on in AIM+? All of this information would be helpful :).

cpu usage
yeah im having the same problems AIM+ uses alot of my cpu usually keeps it up at a constant 80-90% at all times and causes alot of programs (mostly iexplorer) to be slow or crash.
i am running AIM+ v 2.1.1 and AIM v 4.8beta

same problem
I run win xp professional....when i use AIM and AIM+ it also randomly uses 100% CPU but it reports AIM using it, not AIM+, but it is definitely AIM+'s problem. I has to uninstall both and install AIM in a different directory to get rid of the problem. So now, no transparency
