My son recently got me to use trillian instead of aol instant messenger and msn messenger seperately. I find it useful except for one problem, it doesn't close properly, ever. Every time I try to exit it the goodbye oval appears in the center of the screen as it turns off, then doesn't go away. Eventually windows brings up a "end this program" window claiming the program is not responding. This happens every time regardless of any change in XP's program compatability mode I switch it to. My son went to trillian's website and told me that I have the most recent, fully-patched version of trillian so that is not the problem either.
Please, if anyone else has experienced this problem or knows how to fix it, help me.

I'd love to help you, but there isn't a mac version of it.

Silly question, but have you tried to uninstall, reboot and reinstall? I've had to do that a few times before I finally got pissed at it and started using gaim (which is not without it's faults).
Oh, and what version do you have (freeware or pro)?

I've tried re-installing it and rebooting numerous times. I have the free version.

It does that with me, as well. I don't really think it is that big of a problem. If you click the oval, a box will appear around it with an 'x' you can click to close it.

You could try going into the preferences and disabling the exit splash screen...
