None of the ofur 'real' clients will install. Trillian 2.x and 3.x will install, but crash on launch. Integrity (another multi-client piece) does the same thing as Trillian does. Gabber hangs in startup, forcing me to kill it.
Given the other problems that I'm seeing, it's creeping registry blowout... which will mean reinstalling. But this machine has a very long and painful history of being a right pain in the arse when it comes to an OS install... Win2000S is on it currently because WinXP flat out refused to boot on it after install. Something somewhere in the hardware is dodgy; at a guess it's the antiquated Giga-Byte GA7-IXE or the Athlon Tbird950E that's slotted into it. Considering that the IXE main is the -only- main that'll support the 950, I just have to keep this one going until I've got the parts to upgrade it.
It's a damned shame that my friend Kelly's had no luck making RO run under WINE... this machine'd likely be fine as a linux box. :p
