Internet Apps Support

hi folks,

not really a patch but its working for me.

download the new pidgin 2.43 and extract the "liboscar.dll" and replace the "liboscar.dll" in \PidginPortable\App\Pidgin\ and you can login to ICQ.

I get the following error when ICQ tries to connect. It worked fine this morning.

The client version you are using is too old. Please upgrade at http://pidgin.im/

Pidgin's website also seems to be down, so I'll investigate again, more, later tonight.

Have any of you successfully used a theme on pidgin portable WITHOUT having to install the full version on windows? I feel as if I'm missing something obvious here...I know where to put the themes, I just can't seem to get them to register at all. The app constantly looks the same.
Any help?

I tried looking around for this but I can't seem to find it anywhere.I downloaded this plugin/patch http://developer.pidgin.im/attachment/ticket/1187/msn_send_custom_smiley...

There isn't a readme included and I can't find how to install it. I know it fairies depending on the plugin. If anyone knows how to install this, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.

The basic problem I'm having is that I deleted Pidgin, gtk, and aspell from my usb drive and tried to reinstall. I can't reinstall gtk because I guess the computer thinks that it's already there (didn't use the Add/Delete menu because Pidgin was installed on my usb drive and shouldn't be on that menu anyway.) I've tried using a registry cleaner, and I have no recent restore points. I suppose I could reinstall gtk, but the version packaged with Pidgin seemes to be slightly old and a bit harder to find. Any help, please?

In short Pidgin thinks AIM and ICQ are one in the same,
but for me ONLY uses the ICQ buddy list.

Pidgin will not load ICQ or AIM correctly.
It loads them both as ICQ and does not include the AIM buddy list.
Which is a different buddy list.
Same user name.
GAIM used server login.oscar.aol.com , but not anymore.

A while back, I stumbled upon a version of PuTTY that used file configurations instead of registry configurations (http://jakub.kotrla.net/putty/). I've been using this configuration for a while for local use, but now that I'm getting on the road, I'm loading up my flash drive with Portable Apps, including PuTTY Portable. I've noticed that Putty Portable uses registry keys to store info, and I was wondering if it was possible to store it in separate files for ease of editing, and to reduce fragmentation and corruption.

I have created an google account with my yahoo id. what should I do to access google talk with it.
