Last night pidgin was working properly, but as of this morning it just wont open. I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bits. How can i solve this?
The best way of finding a solution when something suddenly stops working is to try to work out what has changed.
As people often say that Pidgin failed to start, when it actually started, but failed to connect to the instant messaging service, you need to consider what may have happened in the local network, internet, and the instant messaging service, as well as what may have happened on your computer.
Especially if there is a possibility of the instant message service having changed, make sure that you are using the most recent version of Pidgin.
If this still doesn't give a clue to the problem, try to collect the debugging information identified in https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports Look over it for clues as to what is going wrong. If you still can't work out what the problem is come back to this list with the details that you have found. N.B. this is a public mailing list, so be careful about any sensitive information.
With a report that it has just stopped working, there is really not much more anyone can do other than to tell you how to gather more information, unless they have hands on access to your system.
Regarding instant message service changes, it is possible that MSN could be finally shut down at any time now.
