Webcam
Webcam with MSN 8.5 and WLM 9.0 doesn't work indirect. The solution is to forward port 6891.
[edit]
Signouts
Getting signed out cause of a connection error not long after signing in. The solution is to update Mercury.

Linux
Start conversation minimized doesn't work on Gnome
- It is probably caused by http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491090
- (not sure because other bugs reported as duplicated mention not having the problem anymore)
- (it may be fixed in metacity but not in compiz)
- I had this problem on ubuntu 8.04 and now still on 9.04
- Typing 'xterm -iconic' in a console, and seeing the window NOT minimized is a simple testcase
- You can also try the testcase from the bug report, it's a small python program
[edit]
Windows 64 bit
If you experience freezing of all other programs when Mercury is started, remove Mercury program directory\jni\TrayIcon12.dll (it's a 32 bit library, for some reason it's loaded on 64 bit systems)
[edit]
Mac
- Incorrect time in Mercury
- Possible solution : enable the "set date & time automatically" in "Date & Time" of System Preference (forum topic)
- Snow leopard problems, no growl, errors in the info log etc...
- Possible solution : try running Mercury on 32 bit, the libraries that connect mercury to growl are not ported to 64 bit
- Distorted event sounds
- Solution: go to /Applications/Utilities and open Audio MIDI Setup; change "Built-in Output" format to 44100.0 Hz from 48000.0 (forum topic)
- Bouncing icon not working
- This is caused by Mac OS 10.6, it doesn't support the necessary libraries anymore. I will probably fix this in 2.1.

If you are using a non-sun java runtime, there may be some strange problems. See Java Runtime for a list.
