Category: win32 Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Doug Linder (dglinder) >Assigned to: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Summary: Gaim fails silently on startup (XP Pro SP2) Initial Comment: I'm running Winx XP Pro with service pack 2. I just downloaded and installed the very latest GAIM (1.3.1) and GTK. The installation went fine, no problems. But when I try to start GAIM, it just... doesn't start. The hourglass flashes for a few seconds, and then... nothing. No errors. It just doesn't start. I checked the GAIM directory and found no log files or errors. I checked the FAQ and found the section on "DLL Hell", but it only mentions it and doesn't say anythimng about what to do about it, and it seems the problem has been worked around in recent versions. I downloaded the debug version of gaim, but when I run it, it give an error about "NTVCM CPU illegal instruction". I have no idea why GAIM would be trying to run in 16-bit DOS emulation mode. I tried searching the web for answrs, but it's hard to search on... nothing. Is there any way to get GAIM to make a log file? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love using GAIM on my Linux box at work; I want to use it at home, too (I only use Windows at home as a shell for launching games ;) Thanks... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=200235&aid=1233940&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.
