Weird Trillian problem

Post by Alyeska »

Did MSN recently do something to try and keep Trillian from accessing MSN Messenger? Whenever I have a active buddy list with MSN it causes Trillian to crash. I actualy went through a complete reinstall of Trillian and file by file reinserted my backups until I discovered it was any MSN from the users file that constantly crashed Trillian.

My Trillian isn't update friendly.

just go snag trillian 3.0 or whatever new version they have now Alyeska.

It's....filled with not very useful dodads and all, but it's a bit user friendly than previous versions (have to use it at work)

Ugh. The only thing I can recommend then is removing the msn.ini file so it doesn't load the plugin.

Already done, but that now means no more MSN for me. (sigh)

Laird, please find a new download :wink:

I had the same problem.
You don't have to click "OK" in the box that tells you Trillian had a crash. If you don't, you can use Trillian as is, and activate the "check for updates" option in the preferences.

It is. I would assume he's using Pro in some form.
