Yea, I actually saw the notice of a new update today, and foolishly downloading it, with the HOPE that it would correct the problem. Of course, after installing, My pidgin no longer opened either. So I uninstalled it and all the associated apps, and now when I try to reinstall, I get "corrupt installation file errors" WONDERFUL! I just LOVE software developers. 'scuse me, "Engineers" I LOVE how they TEST their apps BEFORE releasing them, I LOVE how they break what's not broken. This is TRULY a group of FINE FINE individuals. Yea, they're "engineers" like Sarah Palin is a "maverick" So now, due to the FINE FINE work of these dedicated men and women, I have a $400 piece of equipment that I can no longer use for IM, and rarely can use for even E-mail, as ever since the upgrade to Diablo, that is screwed up as well. What a great investment. Perhaps I can dump this hunk of junk and get a new Ipod Touch
