Re-installing Pidgin will not affect any settings, the settings are held
in a file under your home folder.  If you are on windows right click on
the start button and select "Explore", then navigate to the "Application
Data" folder, then open the ".purple" folder.  In there you will find a
file called prefs.xml I suggest you rename that (while Pidgin is closed)
and then restart it.  You will loose all your preferences so be warned.
