Okay, that didn't work.
It's the .gaim file that it's objecting to. So if you rename that to
something else that should momentarily fix it. If you aren't going to use
gaim again, no problem, doesn't matter, never have to fix the file name.
C:\Documents and Settings\mynamehere\Application Data\.gaim
to
C:\Documents and Settings\mynamehere\Application Data\not.gaim
But if you haven't totally given up on gaim, the first time you log into
gaim it's going to make a new .gaim file and ask you to set up your
accounts. I can't rename anything to ".gaim" because it doesn't like the
period, so I just copied my old .gaim files into the new folder. That fix
seems to be sticking.
