A small 20k jpg transfer from yahoo caused my computer to lock up, forcing a hard reboot.

Adium is crashing frequently now.

OS 10.4.1

File Transfer is extra sucky on Yahoo, although you're under the ~1mb limit so that *shouldn't* be happening...

Make sure to include your version of Adium when posting.

Also Adium shouldn't be capable of causing a system lockup, which makes it particularly interesting. Have you been filing crash reports when possible? (and, as jstamos notes, are you running 0.82?) If so, if you could tell me what email or IM name you filed them as I could have a look and see if I could find out what's causing them (besides the fact that file transfer doesn't work very well).

Heh. I started a message style, tried opening it in Adium and setting it to the Message Style, and Adium crashed and made me force reboot since the messaqge style didn’t have all of the necessary files…

How did that force a reboot? You couldn't just force kill adium?

Sorry, version is .82, but since it locked up the computer I couldn't send a crash report. Looked at the console and here's what it reported:

Unfortunately the crash log doesn't exist.

I *could* since I did it multiple times. But once I try to switch apps… force reboot is needed.

Again, once you force killed adium, how was a reboot required?

You've got problems, and they ain't Adium related. Recommend booting from your OSX install DVD/CD, running Disk First Aid from the Utilities menu, and choosing Verify And Repair for your hard drive. If it finds errors it can't repair, see if your hard drive is still under warranty.

ooooh bummer mesenko. that's rough. the pinhole leak becomes a flood.

i feel you man.

OK so:
1. Adium crashes when I try to switch to a faulty message style.
2. I try to switch apps.
3. Force Restart.

OR

1. Adium crashes when I try to switch to a faulty message style.
2. I force quit Adium.
3. I go on my merry way with a perfectly stable Mac…

When you say a force reboot was required, do you mean the whole system just locks up, like you can't move the mouse or anything (this has happened to me once or twice after quitting Virtual PC), or does it kernel panic, or what?

Mouse moves, beachball, clock stops.

I think I need more RAM; that might be the problem… only 256MB of it.
