Aim Triton... Eating up your CPU usage and Memory?

[Vandoura]

Have you notice that Aim Triton (New Aim) eating up your usage?

I'm using Alienware Dual Core AMD 4800+ 2.6GHZ, it shouldn't be using 60-99% of the CPU usage, and This Aim been using 180MB Memory today i check (usually 30mb to 80mb on my). I don't know how long this had been going on cuz i never pay attention, until, one day (week ago) i look at my Chassis (where you see the light blinks when your computer doing stuff, like loading a program or running Defragment or anything that take a lot of cpu usage) keep blinking, and seem like doing something, but actually i have no program running except my New Aim, yahoo, and Xfire. so i was like "wtf". check task manager, and see aolservice.exe (i think thats what it call) was using my cpu usage. so basicly, i think New Aim trying to f8ck up my computer or something. so i uninstall it, and used classic 5.9 aim, which doesn't eat those usage.

If you guys have the same problem, is better you switch back to 5.9 classic aim, making your computer using those usage can make your computer heat up and need more power for the comp to process what ever new aim trying to do

If you running at low-end computer or mid-end, if you experiance loading delay loading of your program, games that you know it usually don't take that long, and you had Aim Triton installed, get rid of it :O

ya, you need to get rid off the New aim, it can screw over low/med-end computer, you can get Aim 5.9 classic on www.aim.com

it used 60-99% (70-80 adverage) on mine, even tho it haven't change my computer speed performent. I don't want my $5k computer, spend so much usage on this Aim, and lower the life spand (forgot how to spell it ) for nothing, so i used 5.9 now now my usage is 1% when idle with aim, yahoo, xfire on

New aim version comes with spyware checker that scans every couple seconds. More reason to get xfire and avoid aim.

Triton is ass. I put the option to "Don't start when Windows starts." because I dont' have too much system memory (512 in this PC). I startup Windows, and what's that? It's an AIM icon in my system tray! When I say don't startup, I don't mean don't login. I mean DON'T STARTUP PERIOD. I went into msconfig to take it off Windows startup.

And when I'm done using it and sign out and close the icon on my system tray, I look at the processes going on in Windows, and aolsoftware.exe is still running. It's the dumbest IM program ever.

I couldn't find 5.9 at AIM.com before. I'll have to check again for it.

It slowed me down a lot so I downloaded an older version. Triton is absolute trash no matter how good your computer is

lol before I'd go and it wasn't there. Probably had a ton of people complain about the pile of trash they call a program. Before that button was just "Click here to download AIM", and since it didn't say Triton, I thought it was classic. But nooooo. Thanks. Going to go download it right now

hehe, np ^^

5.9, no spyware check every second, and won't eat up your CPU usage :O
<3 old aim

Yeah I was wondering what that thing on my taskbar that was popping up once a minute was. Ever since I took Triton off of startup, it went away. Thought it was the software for my HP printer.

And it's nice to have an instant messenger that actually responds quickly, instead of taking a minute to open a window.

Yea the stupid PoS is killing me.

 

[Vandoura]

i wonder, if anyone gonna sue AOL for their bad product

 

[Ranpha]

@_@ Triton= Too much on it besides that. It was like the part of AOL that people avoided. Went back to classic version but still hate the stupid macromedia player displaying verizon ringtones when logging in. :/ Whatever happened to add free messengers? (AIM toolbar =No Thanks)

Use Trillian. Although 3.0 seems to have real problems with graphics while XI open x.x; I like my 2.0.
