AIM starts up with aim6.exe, aolload.exe, and aolsoftware.exe running. Two minutes, latere, there's two aolsoftware.exe processes running, and withing another few minutes, back down to one. HOWEVER, about 10 minutes later, aolsoftware.exe uses 50% CPU and makes my computer freeze up. Very bad, if I may say so myself. Can't get anything done. i am having issues with AIM.

what i mean is that it is automatically on when you sign in to aim

does that make sense?

also the buddy profile and away message font sizes need to be seriously fixed.. i make my profile text size 8 it shows up as 10 when i go to look at my profile

Although it'd be much better if you guys work on optimizing the client ie. reducing the memory usage from its clunky 30-80 MB. Yes, I know there's AIM Lite, but it lacks many of AIM 6's features and it hasn't been updated in a while...

My buddy was using the latest 6.5 and, as always, when I update to a beta, I had to make her update too because AIM stated she didn't support the feature.

I am currently urging all my friends to download the 6.8 client, so i can try it out. On a side note: could you guys make the minimum size of a buddy window smaller (maybe 5 words across/one line of text down), give the ability to hide the buddy icon/all that whitespace on the side, and let users change the font size of the usernames in the active conversations list on the left? I find it annoying that on the average screen I cannot read my IMs without reordering open windows, and more so to know that 2/5ths of that space is occupied by something other than the IM itself. (hm maybe even add the ability to see all of a new message in the notification, and *inline responses* in the notification (like ICQ has amazingly done). This real-time IM function sounds amazing.
