Reinstalling does not impact your settings (which are stored in the
%APPDATA%\.purple folder on Windows).

In any event, reinstalling without wiping out your settings is not
likely to resolve the crash.

Follow the directions at
http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports#WindowsUsers to get a
crash report and send that back; it will provide more information about
why Pidgin is crashing.
