I really hate to be the barer of bad news, but that annoyingly nasty CPU bug is back.
I was talking to my friends online for a few hours, and about a half hour before I got off, I sent her a file. It was my friends techno song he had done, an m4a, if you at all care.
about 1/2 way through sending the 3.5 mb file, AIM froze, but then it came back. Then it froze, but came back again. Then the file finished sending, and it was all good until I opened outlook.. and everything went to hell. I looked at task manager, and AIM was using 98% of my CPU.
Unlike in beta 2, this bug doesn't render AIM completely useless (just mostly useless), and it seems to only appear during a file transfer, but it doesn't stop when the file transfer is over.
I figured the best way to fix the bug would be to exit AIM, and restart. that didn't work. yes, you read that correctly. I right clicked on AIM in the taskbar and hit exit, but it kept eating away at my CPU. I had to force quit AIM through the task manager. exiting from the program didn't work.
When I restarted AIM it was fine again.

I noticed that too (with AIM lite) but um.. well to be perfectly honest I doubted John and Harry's coding ability over AOL's.. I would have thought that they could have at least written a program to work with their protocol.
If that is indeed the case, can this be moved into the sugguest a feature category- Make AIM work with the AIM protocol?

Because of the method beta 3 uses to "proxy", and because of a similar bug in the program ProfileXtender (which uses the same method), I'd say this is more likely a Middle_Man bug. It isn't, however, the same bug that was in beta 2.
