Yes, it was a jabber.org account. However, now I seem to have another
problem with Pidgin although I tried completely uninstalling it and
reinstalling to try fixing it without success. When Pidgin starts, a
little icon appears in the notification area of my Windows Taskbar.
When I right-click it to open the program for making configuration
changes, nothing happens. I right-click and no menu appears allowing
me to open the program.
If I left-click or right click the icon, nothing happens. I cannot
seem to get to the Pidgin account setup dialogue window any longer.
As
I said, I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but nothing
changed. I am running 64-bit Windows 7.
I will never understand how people can think to solve a problem a
software has by uninstalling and reinstalling the piece of software en
cuestion. But anyway.
I have found this to be a solution to data corruption problems on more than
one occasion.
Try starting pidgin from a command line (also called DOS prompt) and
with debugging enabled (don't know how to enable this in Win, but there
is for sure a way to do). And watch what it is saying. In a normal
(read: in a UNIX) system it would be
$ pidgin --debug
I used this same command at the command prompt where Pidgin was installed,
and it appeared to create a good deal of output, yes. As I am not familiar
with this procedure, I do not really understand what I should be looking for
in it. I can say that Pidgin appeared to start up as a result, in addition
to the command prompt output, but still no connection was made. The
right-click menu options were now working from the icon in the Notification
area, and I was able to get into the configuration dialogue. I changed the
domain for the server connection from jabber.org to hermes.jabber.org.
Even so, the connection did not succeed. I can see in the Pidgin window
these two lines:
usern...@hermes.jabber.org/ disabled
XMPP stream header missing
Clicking on the button labeled Re-enable does not help make the connection.
In addition, when I used Ctrl+C to end the debug command procedure, it
failed to end the instance of Pidgin in Process Manager, and I was unable to
close the command window normally. In fact I had to reboot the machine to
terminate the process. After doing so and restarting Pidgin, the program
started successfully but no connection was made to hermes.jabber.org.
Those same two lines I just showed still appear in the Pidgin window. When I
open the Help Debug window, I can see these lines:
