 Hello,

 it's terrible. After the installation of pidgin for Windows incl. gtk from
 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pidgin/pidgin-2.0.0.exe, the program
 start. '''But by trying to enter my password Pidgin crashes every time.'''
 I used gaim2.0.0beta6 and pidgin2.0.0beta7 before. Both could be used
 paralled. There was no problem by entering my Jabber-Passwort by starting
 both programms. I should have to use gaim2.0.0beta6 because of the gaim-
 encryption3beta8 (ist' just for 2.0.0b6). The old installation of
 Pidgin2.0.0b7.exe won't destroy gaim, but the new one '''Pidgin2.0.0.exe
 destroyed gaim also.''' Now I have no IM in use, because of the crashes of
 Pidgin2.0.0. I also should have to use the encryption from  http://gaim-
 encryption.sourceforge.net/ (still now there is no page like pidgin-
 encryption.sourceforge.net)
 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57740&package_id=74411&release_id=482456.
 Without encryption I won't use any IM. On the other hand Pidgin won't work
 any more.

 '''Is there a possiblility to download gaim2.0.0b6 still Pidgin is working
 fine (incl.encryption)?''' I need the old one - it's a pitty, but I can't
 use IM on any other way. On the other side Pidgin won't work any more
 still 2.0.0 is realeaesed.
 The 2.0.0beta7 worked fine (without encryption) and parallel to
 gaim2.0.0b6, which
 also worked fine (with encryption).

 Greetings,
 Mike.

 * '''parallel pidgin2.0.0b7.exe worked fine'''
    (but Pidgin then '''without''' any '''encryption''')

 * '''pidgin2.0.0.exe crashes and destroyed the gaim-installation''' (the
 only one with ecryption still now). I know, I don't need both, but I need
 one with encryption - and Pidgin was a trial. It looked greater by any
 beta-step.
