Pidgin: Using Gaim Portable with Novell

Submitted by SHS on December 13, 2006 - 11:01am

I am having trouble using Gaim Portable with my office computer that runs Novell and GroupWise. Previously, I could not use regular Gaim with my office computer, but was able to download, install and use Yahoo Messenger through Port 80. A recent change by our IT folks has rendered YM unusuable. So, I went to Gaim Portable on my flash drive. (I use Gaim exclusively on my home computers.) For both YM and Gaim Portable I get a message that it could not connect -- or, sometimes, that I am disconnected (before I even knew I was connected). Can anyone help? Thank you!

Miranda: Missing DLL

Submitted by mps69 on December 12, 2006 - 3:01pm

This is the first time I've really used IM's and Miranda so I'm still crawling.
I've hit on 2 small problems. Firstly Miranda work fine on my home PC. I've install a few plugin, modern mainly and installed a couple of skins. When I take my drive to my work PC I get an error, "missing msvcr71.dll". This does effect the skins mainly. I've read that I can D/L this dll and have it installed on the flash drive. Is this true, if so where do I put it?
Another problem I've got is the smiles. I've got to change the path everytime I move the drive to another PC. Is there a work around for this one.

Pidgin: invisible text bug on portable FIXED!

Submitted by chriskmee on December 11, 2006 - 6:43pm

well, when i downloaded gaim portable, i noticed alot of words were "invisible" or were partly gone. so i worked on it and was able to fix it. what i did was download gaim (non portable) 1.5 with gtx. i downloaded to to my desktop, so your file locations may be different. but anyways.... i found a folder named "gaim" on my desktop, but it actually contains all the gtk info, not gaim info. all i did was delete on my flashdrive gaimportable/app/gtk and put the gaim folder from my desktop right where the origional folder was. then i renamed the "gaim" folder to gtk. All done. it would be nice if this was put onto gaim portable so you wouldn't have to do this to make it work properly. hope this helps and i hope this glitch can be fixed for future downloads.

Pidgin: Gaim crashes when

Submitted by ozzyzorda on December 11, 2006 - 8:29am

It seems that Gaim crashes when you send a message to someone on AIM when they are not on. If I have a window open for someone on aim and they sign off and I don't realize it and I send them a message. Gaim shuts down and gives me a crash error. It doesn't seem to happen with MSN or YIM, just AIM. Any clue as to what might be causing this.

I am running the newest P.apps and the newest Gaim that has been posted.

Pidgin: Proxies

Submitted by Model Rockettier on December 6, 2006 - 12:21pm

I cannot get GAIM to configure to my school's proxy, portable google talk and all of the other portable apps that I've tried can, but GAIM cannot, it has an http proxy without needing a login, but it won't work

Pidgin: SILC settings...

Submitted by Ehko on December 6, 2006 - 7:55am

can someone give me a hand with the settings for SILC accounts. I'm trying to copy my account over from a different client and so far it seems as though I'm not connecting to the right network.

Maybe someone could make a guide or something?
