    My AIM gets really screwy after running it for about an hour. When I have more than one person IM'ing me, it locks up, some of my windows start blinking and flickering and everything gets all weird to the point where I have to restart it. It's getting annoying. Any help?

    Hmm, bad aim. Have you tried taking lessons, or something? You clean up after yourself, right? =\

    My AIM doesn't even work. I can talk to people and they talk back at me but my conversation window is completely white as if we're not talking at all, so I have no clue what the hell they're saying back at me.

    this actually happens to me too. after awhile, it gets screwed up and if I'm in conversation one and switch to conversation two, it shows a white window. I just restart AIM like the thread starter does. sure it bothers me but I guess not as much. I'm pretty sure I have the latest version....

    Pidgin is pretty awesome. I used it while I had Debian. :)
