i have a problem where when running aim+ i go right click on a buddy's name to check there info. if i click anywhere on the box besides the close button the window and all of AIM+ crash. if i press an arrow key to scroll in the windows the program does that crash and i am able to click it. this also happens sometimes when i am chatting in one window, get messaged by someone and without having highlighted the windows click on it.

anyone got any ideas/experienced this too.


im running winxp pro without sp1.

Are your running AIM v5 ? Or version 4.8 or earlier??

AIM+ should run stable under 4.8 or earlier.. unfortunately AIM+ does NOT work with v5 (and probably never will)

It could just be a problem with AIM. When I sign on with one of my screennames, it's completely messed up. When I sign on with another, it works just fine.

yeah i have tried this and it worked just fine. but i'd rather have an aim+ that crashes then just AIM.
