Until recently, I have run Pidgin (and GAIM prior to the name change) with absolutely no problems. Last night I got the wild hair to install the microblog purple plugin so that I could access my Twitter account via Pidgin. Everything went fine until I later last night when I got ready to shut down, I received an error when I attempted to shut down Pidgin. I didn't think too much about it at the time, as I had every intention this morning of uninstalling the microblog purple plugin. Unfortunately, as a result, I didn't think to make a note of the error. (I am running Windows XP with Service Pack 3, and all the latest updates and fixes, installed.)
This morning when I cranked up my computer and attempted to load Pidgin, I received the following two error messages: "Gdk error **:_gdk_visual_init: unsupported BITSPIXEL: 0 Aborting" and then, "Runtime Error!" "Program C:\Program Files\Pidgin\Pidgin.exe" "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." Upon receiving these messages, I uninstalled Pidgin and the microblog purple plugin, downloaded the latest version (version 2.5.5) of Pidgin and installed it, but I am still receiving the same two errors. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling three or four times, and I have run a Registry cleaner in between each installation, but I continue to receive the above two errors after I reinstall Pidgin. What do I need to do to be able to run Pidgin again on my computer?
