I use Pidgin with MSN protocol.

Windows Messenger Live currently allows users to add a Yahoo! address to friend list.
However, it doesn't work with Pidgin.

When I want to add a friend who used Yahoo! address, I got a message:
"johndoe@yahoo.com is not a valid passport account"

Is there a way to work around that? I don't have a Yahoo! account.

Thanks.

Wow, what a fab program this is. I avoided gaim before, but this is so polished I can see my face in it.

For version 2.1.1:
Problem I'm having is that I can send Chinese text just fine. I can even receive Chinese text, except that it doesn't display properly. Just comes up as blocks when someone else sends it. Copying and pasting to a text editor lets me see it.

And why is it that the MSN component allows the funny pictures that others use regardless of where they appear? Shouldn't there be a space or some kind of delimiter that allows that?

Since from version 3.0 on Filezilla developers have been using the local folder of each Windows user for storing Filezilla settings and the portable edition is no longer updated there's a small workaround:

1) Download the zipped version of Filezilla 3.x.x from:
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
[FileZilla_3.x.x.x_win32.zip]

2) Unzip it in a folder of your choice

3) Create an empty .BAT file: start_filezilla.bat

4) Open it by a text editor and copy/paste the following lines:

setlocal 
set USERPROFILE=c:\ 

I have installed PuttyPortable. I save many sessions on PuttyPortable. When I launch PuttyPortable next time, I see only first session which been saved last time and others are gone. I try to insert all sessions registry into putty.reg , but it doesn't work. Every time I close the program PuttyPortable, putty.reg has been changed and its size has 4Kbs. Does the registry file putty.reg is limited to 4Kbs?

I am using Windows XP and have an admin account. I do start it with PuTTYPortable.exe each time and didn't install Putty (not portable) on my computer before.

Is anyone else getting what I presume is a false positive hit for "Generic StartPage.r" on %TEMP%\nsvXXX.tmp\registry.dll when opening and closing PuTTY Portable? This appears to have just shown up for me in today's McAfee update (5150/October 26th 2007).

Installed the latest, 0.7.1 by extracting with 7zip and replacing respective files except for mirandaboot.ini (which already has my relative profile directory). After this, I am getting

"This application has failed to start because zlib.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

Putting zlib.dll 1.2.3 inside the Miranda exe directory allows the program to start, but it bails out immediately. Not having zlib.dll allows Miranda to start with error messages, but without Avatar and Gtalk/Jabber support.

What am I doing wrong?

Out of curiosity I recently got ahold of portable 2.1.1 (loving it) and was wondering if anybody has managed to get the myspace plugin working out of the PC install... I copied over the dll and icons (similar to XFire process) and its not working out

Okay, to be honest, I've become sick of Pidgin. It's ugly and the emoticons suck. Does anyone have or know where I can find a copy of Gaim Portable?

Hiya!

I'm wondering if you for some reason have disabled the ability to insert unicode characters like å ä ö by holding ALT and entering a code on the numerical keyboard (134, 132 and 148 respectively) or if this is a limitation of the underlying API.

I would really appreciate it if this functionality was added, although I know I'm not one to make requests or demands of any kind.
Still, I find it quite a handy trick when you're away from your beloved keyboard..

Hello everyone, I'm relatively new to using portable applications and I'd just like a little background info on Miranda Portable. My computer is going to be down for several months but I still need some basic programs to keep myself running.

Is it possible to change the fonts and/or colors of your outgoing messages, and if so is there some plugin I need to download first?
