    When I start gaim, I get the following error message:

    Using WinXP home sp2 and latest gaim and gtk installations

      Is this gaim 1.5.0?
      If it is and you're using a MSN account, you'll need to upgrade to 2.0.0beta3.1 or newer.  Otherwise, follow the instructions here: http://gaim.sf.net/win32/#debug to obtain a crash report and report a bug.

        I am using v. 2.0 b6 and there is no crash rpt despite using the debug version.

          If you are using the debug version (and there is a exchndl.dll file in the gaim directory), I haven't yet heard of a scenario where it was actually crashing but no report was generated.  Make sure that you actually have the debug version (and that exchndl.dll is present).

      Well, congratulations, you've now heard of a case.  It is the debug version and exchndl.dll is indeed present.

        What does the debug log say? (`gaim -d`)

      I don't know.  Tell me where it's supposed to be stored and I'll look for it.
