i've used the newest gaim version but i didnt knwo how to send pics to friends nor do i know how ot send files. So i unistall it and went back to aim 5.1

Sending pictures to friends is a little buggy. Sending files won't work either. The main focus of GAIM is communication with everyone, not sending things other than text. But I am sure it will be fixed in the future.

GAIM 0.75 (Win32) is decent, but contains lots of bugs and gaps. There's a file transfer "manager" of sorts (look under the "tools" menu), but no way to send files. Yahoo support is spotty at best, it crashes randomly when sending IMs to MSN users or at startup, and sometimes the cursor disappears when typing in an IM box. Decent app, but when it's not even at "version 1.x" status, you can't really expect full-fledged features or rock-solid stability. It's completely free, so you do get what you pay for with it. It'll only get better, I hope. Easy Message Express is another fantastic app, but since one guy writes the program, updates are bug fixes are very spotty.

All the bugs that you guys are talking about, I have experienced myself... BUT they don't really exist at all in the *nix versions... Keep in mind that its only been around for windows for a fraction of the time that it has been for *nix.

i got gaim and I got linux redhat 9 and it wont even let me upgrade to new version and im stuck on 0.59.8 >

Ya, the windows version is very buggy, but the linux one is much stable and better (imagine that...)

yep, love it. And agree the windows one does have a few bugs. Just like the windows gimp version. But its still a pretty good application. Easy to use and more options less ram used and only have to download one program. Not loads and loads of others just to have what one program has.
