+
+
+3. Troubleshooting
+------------------
+If you have problems with Miranda:
+
+a) Disable all plugins. If the problem is gone now, it was probably a
+ bug in one of the plugins and not in Miranda IM itself.
+b) Update to the latest alpha version.
+ We regularly fix bugs in Miranda IM. If you are having a problem it
+ might help to upgrade to the latest alpha version, maybe we already
+ fixed it. You will find the "Nightly alpha builds" in the "Development"
+ section of our website.
+c) Check the list of known bugs.
+ The official buglist is available at:
+ http://code.google.com/p/miranda/issues/list
+ Look here before you submit a new report, dont submit a new report if
+ it has already been reported.
+d) Submit a bugreport.
+
+
