 Pidgin used to work for me yesterday, however as of today, I'm getting
 missing registry key errors (regarding Perl, GTK, and MIT/Kerberos).  I
 installed Kerberos which solved that issue, but then after installing
 Strawberry Perl, the entry is still not in the registry.  I do run
 Uniblue's RegistryBooster, so my guess is that it "cleaned" those items,
 however even after trying to install pidgin again I'm getting the same
 error:
