Digsby or Pidgin users...HELP!
 

Hi guys,
I was using Pidgin successfully on my new laptop for the last 2 weeks, and today an upgrade to 5.5 was required as ICQ stopped connecting. I upgraded, and needless to say, I cannot connect to any services through Pidgin. Thinking it might just be the new upgrade, I tried Digsby, and I got the same errors. It was an authentication error. Trillian is even giving me the same thing.

I tried the ICQ client as a standalone and this worked, which I find odd being as nothing else is working. Is anybody using Vista 64 and having problems with these clients at all? I checked my firewall and none of these apps are blocked.

For a lil background, I'm using a Sony Vaio vgn-fw373j
# 2.4 Ghz (T9800) Intel® Core? 2 Duo Processor
# 1066Mhz Front Side Bus Speed

maybe there is a beta release in updates that fixes this.

I just upgraded 10 mins ago and everything is working fine (WinXP Home). Download and reinstall the upgrade again maybe?

Have tried that 4 times now, as well as restarted my system. 4.4 still works, minus ICQ when I reinstall that, so something isn't meshing well with my system in this new release.

Are you using 64 bit? The new upgrade works on my other 32 Bit Vista machine, but not this 64. :Oh crap

I wish I could help you with vista mang. I never liked it and have only used it as sparingly as i could.

Works like a charm on my other laptop after I trashed the bells and whistles, but I have noticed some connection errors on the 64 bit version that the 32 does not have. It seems connection errors seem too be the only issue I've had with this OS.

Check what version of gtk+ you are running. I know the new pidgin made me update it.

32 bit...

GTK+ Runtime: 2.14.7
Glib Runtime: 2.18.4

Maybe you could try running the exe in a different compatibility mode?

i have pidgin issues on my Ubuntu machines, never on my Windoze for some reason..

tried it..No dice. :(

If it helps at all, no TGP autosubmitters are able to connect to the internet either. A lot of applications that connect to the internet that worked on Vista 32 seem to be unstable on this computer for some reason. :(

Sorry to hear that, man. I used Pidgin for a few months. Sucked ass. I'm back on Trillian now.

noticed this today too, haven't updated yet though.

Let me know how it goes/ I've been looking all over the net and can't seem to find answers. Nothing back from support yet. Arghhh.

IM clients
 

On the topic of IM clients. I use Digsby, Pidgin, and Adium on various computers. I have also recently started to look at Voxox. Has anyone else tried this beta release?
