Digsby on the old laptop

June 7, 2008 by Chris · 2 Comments 

I have digsby up and running on my old Thinkpad 600E running Windows 2000. I wasn’t sure that it would actually run, but after one small adjustment it seems to be running just fine.

The adjustment? I needed to grab and install the GDI+ redistributable package.

    Popups are also disabled to prevent crashes and so is the auto-updater. We don’t support windows 2000 but it will “work” besides the above issues.

    Hi Steve, thanks for the notes!

    What sorts of popups are disabled? Seemed like I was getting chats… Was that because I already had a chat window open?
