aolsoftware.exe 50% CPU utilization & higher

[mhilliard_14]

okay, thanks.
will update you this weekend.
thanks again!

so far everything seems fine.
just a few questions:

1.) after AIM is loaded, should "aolload.exe" still be running? I don't recall seeing it run before.
2.) aolsoftware.exe registers as 0 CPU. [GREAT], and 8,328k mem usage. Normal, right?
3.) aim6.exe registers at 30,364k memory usage. thats fine too, right?

Just curious. [:
It peaked once to 90% and the computer hung, but after a restart everything seems fine.

**Will update again**

Here`s the lowdown on Aolload.exe.

As you can see it`s perfectly safe.

I`ve never used Aim, nor Aol myself, so don`t really know what it`s resource handling should be. However, I do use Yahoo messenger and it uses 41,400k on my system which seems fine to me.

In other words, don`t worry about it.

As to your computer hang, it could have just been a glitch. Unless it keeps happening, again, don`t worry too much.

Right, uninstall Aim and try using an older version. See if that helps.

I think you need to post this particular problem in a new thread in our Misc Software & Utilities forum.

Okay, I just did that.
Thank you very much Mr. Howard. [:

I hope I get this solved.
Do you think software is conflicting?

 

[howard_hopkinso]

It`s a possibilty, but I really don`t know.
