That is weird. But I have never used MSN messenger ever. So I don't think it was at all the cause of my problems. However https support makes a difference! fsl

I'm running a 1.2 with 512

Thanks for the info... With the help of Seb...I am installing kde 3.2.1 using konstruct. I would tell you how it works but it is STILL GOING! **NOTE TO FORUM** When someone says "it will take a long time" ... think ... Days... not hours! HA HA HA :lol: This forum rocks! fsl

Interesting issue... I am a little confused though so let me clarrify a few things. First off, unlike windows, linux has no real need for a file extension (suffix). Next you say these are web shorcuts? So when they open in 'text-mode" do you see the html for the page they link to? Or do you see something like: [code:1][DEFAULT] BASEURL=http://www.google.com/ [InternetShortcut] URL=http://www.google.com/ Modified=40D85AF57D12C401BB[/code:1] Let me know. fsl

In Mandrake (10) there are 2 rpms: kdenetwork-kopete-ver.mdk.rpm libkdenetwork2-kopete-ver.mdk.rpm Where 'ver.' is the version number for the rpm. (obviously) I had a similar issue untill I installed the bottom listed library rpm. Hope this helps! fsl

Hey Seb, Good thought but I'm sure thats not the case. I am dual booting Mandrake with Win. on a small home network. Yes I sit behind a router but I am port forwarding all neccessary ports right through. Trillian in Win. works fine. I am going to try for KDE 3.2.1 upgrade, so get used to hearing from me ... ha ha... fsl :lol:

Alright, feel this one out... I took your advise about deleting the kopete folder...actuallly before I did that I fired up the root account and configured kopete...The overall line of thought is that, rather then delete my kopete folder, setting up kopete in root will do basically the same thing... No avail! It still crashes as soon as I try to connect to msn. Bummer! I am digging through forums and log files as we speak. I really apprecaite the help I am receiving. Like I said, it worked yestur...

Thank You, Now that I think on it...I have resolved issues such as these in the same manner in the past. I haven't gotten a chance to see if this fixes it but I will be trying it tonight and will post again. ***Quick Note*** From this I went looking for updates for Kopete...in particular I am still interested in the 0.8.1 release if someone can stear me in the right direction. Because of my frustration with kopete I became more experienced with Mandrake urpmi system and managed to configure rpmd...

March - 24 I have been using kopete 8.0 - Rpm package from Mandrake 10 Community Had no problems until today. Now kopete crashes everytime MSN makes a connection. Nothing has changed on my computer. I simply fired up kopete the same way as I have been and BAM! ... kde crash dialog box. Eager to find a solution! Thank You
