But i just tried GAIM and i cdnt connect to msn.Anybody who uses GAIM cd help me?And how good is cFosSpeed?I think this is off-topic.For cFosSpeed are available other posts which answer the most questions, just search.Simple create an msn account in Gaim and then login.What exactly is the problem with Gaim, so I may help you more if I can.

easyx Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Try to connect some more times, if nothing happens and you gae again the error message, recheck your pass/nick.Also check the use HTTP method in the advanced settings of MSN Account setup.Sometimes I also can't connect but I finally connect after some tries.Trillian Pro supports Google Talg but it's not freeware.

silverfire Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Anything that supports the Jabber protocol supports Google Talk, so this includes (but is not limited to) Trillian, GAIM, Miranda IM, and probably a host of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixshot Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 My MSN works just fine. Ensure you're running gaim 1.5.0 with the latest GTK+ 2.6 from their site or installer. Try not to install GTK+ 2.8 for win32 as there's a problem with connecting to various IM protocols. That bug is currently under investigation.Under the MSN account setting, ensure that it's connecting to messenger.hotmail.com using port 1863 and double-check your proxy settings. Let us know if this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeppal Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 SpywareBlaster is awesome! Prevention is always better than cure. And it prevents spyware from infecting ur system while at the same time doesnt run in ur taskbar and use up memory usage such as products like spyware doctor.Together with Spybot and Adaware, ur system is as good as secure.
