That is a question for the "Log Converter+" folks, we aren't familiar with that tool. If the logs are converted such that they are the same as they would have been had they been created in pidgin and put in the right place, then it should work. > Second query, am dual booting Windows 7 with Windows XP and Windows XP.

You will need to do some tweaking so that all OSes look for the pidgin settings in the right place (unless you've done this at the OS-level by making %APPDATA% point to the same place on all versions of Windows). The FAQ covers how to do this. -D _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
