Pidgin: gaim crash

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on April 5, 2006 - 4:45pm

i am trying to use portable gaim from school. i start it, it connects to all the protocols, but after a little bit it just closes, without saying anything at all. it just closes. i've tried to use it both from the pen and from the hard disk, it has the same problem. from the computer at home, though, it works perfectly from the pen.

any ideas?

(i've tried both 1.50 and 2.0, same problem)

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on March 27, 2006 - 12:03am

Running Windows 2k Pro with Portable Gaim. I've set the
portablegaim.exe file to run at current user startup
(HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run). I
recieve an error labeled "settings was not found.
Please check your configuration." However, if I run
PortableGaim again, it loads sucessful. It also works
if I link it to another link to portablegaim; *.ink.

Pidgin: 1.5 Guifications Plugin

Out of frustration, I've created a small package that includes the Guifications plugin for Portable Gaim 1.5 -- it's available here, and the MD5 checksum is: 90666fbd3fc169a236661c13f28f71d7

Simply extract the contents of this 7-Zip archive on top of the existing directories underneath ./gaim. You can grab additional Guifications themes here.

Pidgin: portable gaim crashes after splash screen

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on March 16, 2006 - 12:34pm

I'm having a problem with portable gaim crashing on my home PC (running Win XP home edition). The splash screen is displayed, I get an hourglass and then nothing happens. I've tried downloading a fresh zip and installing it, and it doesn't seem to work. I had no problem with it until last night. I had regular gaim installed on the same machine as well, and now that won't start, either. I've tried removing GTK and completely reinstalling. Any ideas what's going on?
