Category: win32 Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: beckysue (beckysue) Assigned to: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Summary: Gaim hangs on startup (Win 98) Initial Comment: I installed Gaim 1.4 on Thursday last week (July 14) and have noticed the following: 1. When it loads completely, it takes a long time (30 sec to 1 minute) 2. It usually doesn't load completely. It gets registered in the task manager, but does not pop-up a task window. 3. Shutting down my laptop and starting it up again, sometimes makes gaim work correctly. I've got the most current patches available for win98 as possible. Something is significantly different between this new version and the previous one. Any advice would be appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeff Buhrt (jeffbuhrt) Date: 2006-01-23 09:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=877056 See ticket [1367431] for a comment on what might the problem: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1367431&group_id=235&atid=100235 [Did you have a lot of disk I/O on startup? If you wait long enough does it eventually start up? If so stop gaim and restart, it should immediately start.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: beckysue (beckysue) Date: 2005-08-26 09:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1113491 Today I installed the current download file for gaim (1.5.0) and the same thing happens. When I activate Gaim, it registers with the task manager but no window or other access to gaim is present. When I check the task manager , it tells me gaim is not responding. Going back to the 1.3 version. Any idea what is causing this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: beckysue (beckysue) Date: 2005-07-21 13:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1113491 FYI: I've uninstalled 1.4 and gone back to 1.3.1 which works much better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=200235&aid=1242505&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
