Internet Apps Support

hi i am using portable gaim i have copied the files to a memory stick. i am using the im messenger in college and they have a firewall which blockes me and does not let me run the im software it goes until handshake and then fails is there any way round this
samee

I moved PortableGaim.ini from the PortableGAIMCode directory into the same directory as the PortableGaim.exe sits as directed in the readme. I set the Userprofile directive in the ini to be "userprofile". I created this directory. But still, when I run the app and make accounts it always stores them in settings/.gaim

ideas?

I would like to be able to run a 2nd instance of gaim using a different account profile entirely (meaning, two different instances with different msn/aim/icq accounts in each)

thanks

I wonder what the difference is between the "normal" miranda and its portable
counterpart.

As you know there is not only a Miranda installer exe but a simple
zip archive as well.

If I extract this simple zip archive all necessary files are available
and I can run Miranda out of the box (even from an USB Stick).

So why do I need a special "portable Miranda" version ?

Miranda 0.5 has been released.

With the 0.5 release, Miranda IM introduces Unicode support, to further improve integration into multi-language systems. Available now are 2 separate download options. The Unicode version is available for Windows NT, 2000, and XP users and a non-Unicode version is available for Windows 9x and ME users. Another new feature of this release is the introduction of AIM Oscar. This provides users with the ability to transfer files and receive away messages that previous versions did not support. This release also increases the support for avatars among many of the protocols. Along with plenty of bug fixes and new features, we hope you will find Miranda IM 0.5 a satisfying release.

Is a U3 version for portable Gaim in the works?
Thanks

I downloaded the updated-yahoo theme smilies. I figures, no problem, just copy them to the correct folder and load up gaim and good to go., but NOPE. Gaim loads up fine, but if I try to go to preferences to change themes I get a crash. Why???
gaim.exe error in modname: libglib-2.0-0.dll ver 2.6.6.0 offset 0004117d...
HELP!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

I'm kinda new to Gaim and just have a quick question. Where does it show the current away status that I'm using? I see the away button and can select the various status's. But there isn't a check mark or anything that tells me what is currently set.

Thanks all!

The latest posting of Miranda, 0.4.0.3, needs a new ICQ.dll to be able to work on ICQ-based networks...

People like me, just loving the uncomplicated way of using your apps wherever you want, and so using Portable Miranda, will actually face a major problem, connecting to the ICQ Network.

The package downloadable here, still contains the old ICQ.dll OscarJ-protocol in version 0.3.5.3. For ICQ having changed their servers on 10th of July, the old protocol is no longer accepted.

Joe@Whale, writer of the OscarJ-protocol says:
"Hi,
I noticed AOL is about to discontinue support for icq5... together with old error in 0.3.5.3 version it is not able to connect... I release new bugfix version 0.3.5.4 - it has fixed this problem and is still based on old code base. ALSO PLEASE NOTE: Development builds has this fixed for some time already."

I'm executing Filezilla on my stick. I'm copying from a remote site to C:. The stick is blinking constantly, probably because filezilla needs access. This makes it very slow. Why should filezilla need access to the stick during this transfer:
remote -> C:? Shouldn't the executing code be cached in memory?
