Big-O Software

OS: WinXP
AIM+ version: 2.2.1
AIM version: 4.7.2480, but I've been able to reproduce it on other versions
Steps:
1) Open task manager, look at virtual memory usage of AIM process
2) IM someone, and watch virtual memory usage, it will jump by a few hundred K
3) Have a conversation, while watching virtual memory usage, it will slowly rise
4) Close the IM
Expected Results: virtual memory usage goes back to approximately what it was before you IMed someone.
Actual results: virtual memory usage drops by approximately 4K

I have actually had my AIM process use over 400 megabytes of virtual memory when leaving it open for about a week. Is anyone else seeing this?

I've been running 8 days on 2k... AIM is using 10MB of MEM, and 6MB of VM... AIM+ is using 1.5MB and .5MB respectively.

I have no had any problems with memory usage in Windows XP either. Perhaps you should try re-installing it if you haven't already. And make sure you have the most current version of AIM which is 4.8.2790. I know you said you have had this problem on several versions, but I don't know which versions those are. I had problems with memory leaks in a couple of the 4.7.X releases also.

I know AIM 4.x itself has memory leaks in WindowsXP, regardless of whether or not AIM+ is running.

This must just be in XP because I have had 0 memory problems with Win2k on several different machines.
