Installed Gaim 1.5...

hi, please excuse the newbie here, but i've installed gaim 1.5 & it works fine, but i also get this black run screen each time i start the app. if i close that window, it also closes my buddy list window (it closes gaim).

i installed 3 files, the 1.5 exe, the debug exe & "no-gtk" exe.... i assumed i needed to install these 3 as they were the ones given for windows download.

is there a way of getting round the black command window?

I use to have this same problem with one of the older versions. I found uninstalling it and reinstalling it removed the problem. I also know the order which you do the installs matter.

ok cheers, will try that

[EDIT] ok, within 5 mins, uninstall, then run only 2 installers (first the debug then the gaim 1.5, as mentioned above), figure i don't need the "no-gtk" file as i already have gtk runtime on my pc. it worked, thanks!
