Yes, it was a jabber.org account. However, now I seem to have another problem with Pidgin although I tried completely uninstalling it and reinstalling to try fixing it without success. When Pidgin starts, a little icon appears in the notification area of my Windows Taskbar. When I right-click it to open the program for making configuration changes, nothing happens. I right-click and no menu appears allowing me to open the program. If I left-click or right click the icon, nothing happens. I cannot seem to get to the Pidgin account setup dialogue window any longer. As I said, I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but nothing changed. I am running 64-bit Windows 7. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
