If you find your user directory, so:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user> (Win XP)

then look in Application Data\.purple (or equivalent on newer OSs)

you should have some otr.<string> files, like otr.fingerprints etc.

If you copy these to your home .purple directory, and maybe other
missing files if there is anything obviously related that I've missed,
then it should work OK.

Of course you need to install and enable the OTR plugin.
