trillian post-image-send problems


Question

my friend is a film major at our state college, and he's always sending me still of things he's doing over trillian, specifically aim. one day he directly connected to me, no problems. send me the pictures, they show the progress bar for the file send, then when it finished it just showed a black line. it had my timestamp, my screenname, then just a space where the image should be. by space, i mean the actual ascii character space, not just an empty spot.

i tried to say "your picture didn't show up, trillian must be being stupid" and trillian crashes. i restart trillian, try to IM him "trillian crashed, sorry" and trillian crashes again. he can send me messages no problem, my away message can reply to him, but if i try to say something to him trillian will crash. that leads me to believe it may be something wrong with the logging, since the away messages can be sent to him without crashing (away messages are not logged).

i've tried unintsalling and clearing everything (reg entries and files) and reinstalling, but it didn't help. i also tried starting a new log file, but that didnt' work either. a couple days ago, another one of my friends tried to send me another picture and now the same thing is happening to him. i can now only talk to these two guys on MSN, and it's a real pain since MSN isn't their main IM, so i have to IM them from my phone's aim screenname, tell them to get on msn, then talk to them from there.

anybody have any ideas?

edit: oh yeah, trillian pro 2.0, and winxp pro sp1.

Try this... Go into your trillian folder (program files/trillian or whatever) and go under Users... then run a search on all ini's in that folder and subfolders (users, global, etc) and delete ALL of them.

This will get rid of all your settings (if youve renamed any contacts, they'll go back to their original name) and you'll have to reenter your user/pass but hopefully it will work.

Also, how does it crash? What error?

Since you're using Trillian Pro, I'd suggest sending in a support ticket regaurding it. Or post on the Trillian Pro forums, you're more likely to find a solution there.
uh... but i like this forum more... uh... yeah... that's it... :rofl:

and i honestly don't know how i didn't see this before, but on the windows error reporting dialog, in more info it hella says modname: msnpoppup.dll, so i removed that plugin and it works just friggin' fine now. :angry: stupid crappily written plugin.

    • Been happy with Windows 11 myself even since first release in 2021, sure it hasn't always been perfect, but nothing is per say.. Issues i did have was minor ones, which is normal with any OS really. I still use Windows 10 at times on my unsupported Gaming Laptop, and i find myself using the Windows 11 Desktop more. Eventually replacing Gaming Laptop with a Windows 11 Compatible one somehow, someway this year or possibly next year at the latest, but its gonna happen--(May save all my Bing reward points except the 1000 to have extended support for 10) then work on getting quality Replacement hard)
    • Geez, this is dumb. I use my laptop sometimes in the dark when doing astrophotography to control my astro-PC... this explains why I have to keep entering my PIN when logging back in. So stupid. I can't see the keyboard in the dark, and I can't have lights everywhere to light it up because everything is very light sensitive (including my eyes!).
    • Naturally. I don't care about brand loyalty at all as it's all about price/performance/reliability etc (even what RejZoR said below is a great point to). basically bang-for-the-buck. because at the end of the day... one wants the cheapest possible price to maintain a certain minimum level of performance (or thereabouts). because generally after a certain point with CPU and GPU's the price starts to sky rocket without that much difference in performance where it really matters. p.s. historically I have bought more Intel CPU's and NVIDIA GPU's but I have had some AMD CPU's and one AMD GPU.
    • Both of these companies as well as Qualcomm and Apple need competition. Otherwise, they just coast. I don't prefer macOS, though I like some of Apple's hardware, but if anyone needs competition, it is Apple. Their prices are already outrageous and they need to have a reason to produce good hardware and at least keep prices remotely reasonable. (It is criminal what they charge for RAM upgrades especially.) Qualcomm needs to push AMD and Intel not to be so sloppy with the performance/efficiency aspect. Granted, AMD has been doing quite well in this respect considering they are not an ARM architecture. I personally want to have more options that truly compete with Macbook Air and Macbook Pro's on the Windows side. It is difficult to achieve what Apple does since they control the entire stack and that is fundamentally different for Windows PCs other than maybe Microsoft Surface PCs.
