You could uninstall then reinstall an older version. For the official builds this doesn't delete any of your settings. But also note that this probably won't fix the problem, since all the official builds look for your settings in the same location. And old versions are less secure than the current version. This story sounds weird. I'm imagining three scenarios: 1. This is a corporate computer managed by a central IT team at your company. They chose to upgrade Pidgin on your computer. No idea what happened to your settings. 2. You somehow have or had multiple versions of Pidgin installed at the same time. Possibly an official build downloaded from a link off of https://pidgin.im/ and possibly an unofficial or portable build from elsewhere. Maybe you were previously running one of them and you've now started running a different one. 3. You don't have an official build installed at all, just an unofficial one from elsewhere. Maybe the unofficial one even includes some sort of auto-updater. In case #1, I suggest talking to your IT people. In cases #2 and #3, I suggest: 1. Uninstall Pidgin using Windows' standard add/remove software dialog. 2. Search your computer for any/all .purple directories. Find the one you care about and put it in the standard location (https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#Whereismy.purpledirectory). 3. Download and install the newest version from https://pidgin.im/download/windows/ _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
