Try closing pidgin then running:

mv ~/.purple ~/.purple_old

Then rerun the app and make a new profile, see if it is the same

 actionparsnip,

do you mean close completely down from task launch bar, and do the
command thru sudo?, then restart thru the k menu?
as I just closed pidgin and then issued "mv ~/.purple ~/.purple_old" and
click on the icon to start from the task bar but still nothing?

The command I gave renames the folder. ~/.purple holds the pidgin config (handy for backups)

actionparsnip,
what you mean rename the file?

mv ~/.purple ~/.purple_old

renameas the folder. I can't put it any simpler

 actionparsnip,
I am sorry I misunderstood I thought you were saying that I have to rename the file,not that the command renames the folder!, it seems to be working, but I am not using any
other application at the moment, and when there is a email, I click onto the tab and
it auto loads thru Google chrome to log into my hotmail account!, so thanks
