This can happen when application developers install their dlls to Windows system directories. The most commonly used dll to cause dll hell is zlib.dll.<BR><BR> -<b>Solution</b>: As of 0.69, Gaim will perform a check during startup to determine if any 'dll hell' candidates are found in the dll search path. The user will be prompted to rename the problem dlls. Doing so will likely break the applications responsible for installing to the Windows system directories. To remedy this, contact the authors of the applications in question. This check will only be be performed for versions of Gaim installed via the installer.<BR><BR> +<b>Solution</b>: As of 0.72, depending on the windows version Gaim will either change working directory before loading gaim.dll, or will use SetDllDirectory.<BR><BR> Why did we move to using the GTK installer? More and more GTK apps are being ported to Windows, and rather than having each app install its own copies of the GTK dlls, it is better that GTK is installed in a common location to avoid having many duplicates of the same dll.
