Pidgin not remembering accounts

Submitted by Valexenium on April 12, 2008 - 1:15pm

For some odd reason, every time I close the application and launch it again, none of my accounts are there. I'm running it off a flash drive and the host is Windows XP. I have not moved any of the files around since downloading the application. It is currently saved to F:\IRC\Unreal3.2\doc\technical\ \Pidgin\Sauce\PidginPortable and I run it from F:\IRC\Unreal3.2\doc\technical\ \Pidgin\Sauce\PidginPortable\PidginPortable.exe. Some help would be nice.

Sincerely,
Valexenium Nellaf
