While this list is really not the place to find support with something
PortableApps.com distributes... If you start a command prompt window and
copy & paste the following with the drive plugged in, what are the contents
of debug.log? Also, what version of Windows are you using?
===
i:
cd\Datos\respaldo\Documentos de Iván\PortableApps\PidginPortable\
pidgin-portable.exe -d -n 2>&1 > debug.log

Please make sure to "*Reply to all*" to this email, as this allows many
other people to help diagnose the problem.
