Ok, I found my account but it was dimmed and unchecked and I couldn't
do anything with it. So I deleted it. But when I go to add an
account, it tells me to click the plus to add an account and that's as
far as I can get. Nothing else seems to work. So how do I add an
account? Is there just a way to make the Mac forget everything so I
can do a totally new install and get Adium to work?
