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.

    • keep in mind some things like chrome look at this setting to disable some animations in browsers... its an accessibility thing
    • I always disable animations in Windows using sysdm.cpl and yes, it feels faster. I have also reduced animations in my android phone using dev options.
