Do you use Trillian?

[Fyron]

I don't ever have any problems with Trillian...

[Captain Kwok]

I've never had any problems with Trillain either. It's a very handy program.

[Gryphin]

Hm, maybe they fixed some of it. Perhaps it is conflicting with other programs. Does it allow for all of the featurs of the progrms it is the front end for ?

[Ed Kolis]

Hmm, I'm having a few problems with Trillian that I can't seem to figure out, and this seems like a good enough place to ask about them...

If I set Trillian to load on Windows startup, I get two tray icons... eh? How do I prevent that?

Also, is there a way to set Trillian to automatically try to connect to the various services whenever an Internet connection is detected? It's a pain having to click "Global Reconnect" every time I go Online just in case there's someone who wants to chat...

In the Connection manager, there is a checkbox on the right side labelled "auto connect to this account on startup"
Check that, and you should be all set.

As for loading on startup, I don't actually use that. With dialup or sympatico, you need to connect to the internet before you bother doing anything on it

I already have that checkbox on... guess it only tries to connect when the program loads (i.e. at Windows startup) and not when a connection is detected

There are some settings on how to retry.
"Retry X times"
and
"Wait X seconds between tries"

You could increase the retry times to 30 or 60, and have 30-60 seconds between tries...
That should give you 15 minutes to an hour to connect to the internet before it gives up on you.
