My computer is allergic to AIM. what do i do?

[Phantom589]

when i first got the computer (abt 3 months ago) and tried to install the newest version of AIM, it would always freeze after recieving one IM. so someone on these fourms suggested getting an older version of AIM, i did that and it worked fine ,except for when i would leave the computer for long peroids of time (not on standby or hibernate, just leave the computer on with something downloading and the monitor off, just not touch it) AIM would always stop responding, or just shut itself down outta nowhere (only when i left the comp alone for a long time tho)....so now i have the newest AIM (triton) and it also works generally fine except for every now and then (when minimized) it just stops responding...its really annoying. Ive completely uninstalled and reinstalled and tried that kinda stuff to no avail...what should i do?

Does your firewall allow it to go?

Aim is bloated anyways, you are blessed.

imo, you should try miranda over trillian due to security vulns.

(yes, it supports AIM, just get the plugin)
