Messenger Crashing

Wednesday, January 26, 2005 by Sunako | Discussion: Object Desktop

I purchased ObjectDesktop a few days ago, and whenever I download and install all of the programs in it (from StardockCentral), my messengers (AIM, Y!Messenger, Trillian, etc.) all crash when I try to send a file.. >.>;;;

I had to reformat last night because System Restore wasn't working.... I tried installing them all again today, and my messengers all shut down just as they had before, but this time, I was able to do a System Restore. Is there something else I need to do? ;;;;

They all crash? That doesn't make sense at all to me. I use Trillian Pro 3 as well as having AIM and MSN Messenger installed on computer, and I experience no problems that are directly related to SDC. Besides the random farting of Trillian's sending files and direct connecting, that's all I have problems with.

So, maybe you have a firewall blocking the ports used for sending files? What exactly are the crash errors? (I definitely wouldn't have reformatted, btw unless it was absolutely necessary...hop on the IRC Chat via SDC if you need help that bad )

>.>;; Yeah.. each of them crash after I try to send a file... T_T

Well.. I do have a firewall, but it hasn't been blocking any sending or recieving of files through my messengers before. At the moment, I haven't reinstalled Norton Internet Security(since the reformat), but it still crashed on me. There is no error message.. it just shuts down. (;; It was pretty necessary... >.>;;; A lot of Windows applications were dead... And.. I have no idea how to use IRC.. >.>;; Tried, and failed miserably.. ;;; )

>.>;;; I installed some of the programs in ObjectDesktop last night.. *o*/ and my messengers are still working. The programs/components I installed are:
Band VWM
Component Tray
DesktopX
Icon Developer
Icon Packager
IconX
Keyboard Launchpad
ObjectBar
Object Edit
SkinStudio Professional
Tab LaunchPad
Theme Manager
WindowBlinds
WindowFX

The others I wasn't sure about.. so.. I'm guessing that one of them is what has been causing my messengers to crash.
