I can think of two solutions, One: Get a memory defragger, Two: Kill AIM.

Try defragmenting your harddrive, that makes everything run faster. Or, get more RAM. I noticed on older computers (with less RAM than newer computers) it generally slows them down a lot.

Yesss...kill it...what would you want that junk for? It's so annoying. Adds popups and everything. :( I hate it, and I was so glad my dad re-installed/re-formatted(?) Windows XP, 'cause I couldn't get the bugger put.

98% computer usage on aim? That's cuh--razzheeee... maybe you need to reboot and run scandisk + defrag.

Hold onto your seats people... the SL is back.

Uh... Last I checked, AIM didn't add any popups or anything of that sort to my computer. YIM is worse, it added things I told it not to install. <_<

o.O No it doesn't...you probably had some form of spyware.

Gone, forever.

Or, Kill Windows. Find a nice Linux distro with Gaim packed in. Go to town with it ;)

Wow, I don't think I've never had anything use that much space before.

But, yes switching to Trillian will work. You could also try Gaim.

AIM doesn't have popups and "everything." That was probably spyware.
