@Michael

Don’t install to program files. Try a folder your user account is the ‘owner’ of, for example your “Documents” or “Application Data” (or “AppData”) folder. Also, the latest installer is always located at http://update.digsby.com/install/digsby_setup.exe (for normal) and http://update.digsby.com/install/digsby_setup_alpha.exe (for the alpha).

I work in a call center.
At first i couldn’t run digsby because I can’t access program Files. I had a portable version somebody made. There was an upgrade that broke it. Then I tried the normal version and whoa it works now w/o needing to access program files. Then you started this alpha business. Now when an update is pushed it is stored in temporary internet files (I am guessing) and it wants me to use Admin username and password to run the downloaded update. Whats better is you cant just find the update on the website. So now I am stuck using pidgin again. Please help. Either fix the update process, allow me to chose when to check for updates or have a place on your website to find the latest release. – thanks

I’m not sure if this has to do with the latest build, but it won’t connect to anything anymore. I even tried re-downloading the latest official release and installing, and no dice.
It flickers between Connecting and Authenticating about 5 times, then just stops.

Any thoughts?
Thanks to all of you and your hard work!!!

I’m still having CPU issues. On my Dual core, it uses about 10% of cpu, too much, but managable. On my Athlon 64 3000+ (single core), it uses up to 55% of CPU, which makes it unusable. I’m back to T******* for now. But I really want Digsby. It’s just not time yet…

i think this is happened for the first time in any version of digsby i have run, but after this update, for the first time ever, digsby crashed… twice… but my observation was that at that time, i was running several programs (apple safari, one of my media players, and digsby) and switching frequently… so i guess dat’s what made digsby crash… and i have another problem on my computer: it doesnt shut down!!! can that be a cause for digsby to crash? i guess i must mention that despite my comp nt shutting down, i do close digsby every two nights or so…

and as for that facebook connection proble…. the problem resolved on its own… ie unless you guys did something… !!

@Randy-
I made a typo when updating the update file on the web. It should update just fine now =)

Hello,

I am an alpha tester. Shutting down and restarting does download any updates. I still show 18955 as the build.

Any Ideas?

@Randy: Next time it happens submit a bug report.

@Twit: See our latest blog post. If you can help us hunt down the causes we would greatly appreciate it. A build will go out today or tomorrow fixing most of the crash causing issues.

@Person: It may not be fully set. There is a default setting for opening links and a default setting for opening HTML files. Try setting IE as the default and then setting your browser back as the default. If you use Opera, there is a known issue that causes Opera not to launch links when it is already running.

running version 18955 on Windows XP 32-bi with SP3. I went to bed last night, leaving Digsby connected over night, when I woke up in the morning my AIM had disconnected and it wasn’t even trying to reconnect. This keeps happening through multiple versions of Digsby.

Other than that, no problems with crashing or anything else. Keep working on it guys, you’ll find the last few issues!
