Pidgin executable being corrupt while trying to start

[Mateus]

Well, the message is in Italian since the operating system is Italian any
because of the very nature of win 7 starter I'm unable to change it. (and
the SO is in Italian because, for the moment, I'm living in Italy. (the
pidgin itself is installed in English).

The main problem, is that Pidgin did not start at all.
By now, I can easily believe that this is not a problem related to pidgin,
as I reinstalled direct in C:/Pidgin instead of C:/Program Files/Pidgin, and
it is working.

Still this is not a solution.

Anyway, thank you for your attention and sorry if this is not the proper
place (as if this is not a problem related to pidgin but windows).
I'm still unable to find the reason for this to have happened.
