Thanks so much. I already logged off but that didn't help so I'm assuming I just need a reboot then.

Changing PURPLEHOME wouldn't do anything to your previous settings, so unless they were cleaned out in some other way (which is probably not the case if you can see the old files in the appdata location), your settings should be fine. Environment variables are inherited from a parent process, so depending on how you launch pidgin, your change may not have taken effect. A guaranteed way to make sure that a new Pidgin instance sees your current environment variables is to log off and back in or reboot. -D This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
