 Hello there,

 I've got troubles when starting the Pidgin Client under Windows XP.
 Pidgin starts without a crash. But it doesn't load the account data from
 the %appdata%/.purple/accounts.xml file.

 So there comes the messagebox equal to the one when installing new. You
 know with the add-new-accounts-stuff.

 The problem appears for no reason. Pidgin runs about months without any
 problems. It occurs yesterday first time, so I ran the update to 2.6.2,
 but it still occurs at a restart.

 I tried to write a new accounts.xml by using Pidgin. And here we go: There
 was no problem, accounts are written down to the file and I could use it.
 So I thought it was "fixed". But now (after a few system reboots) it
 happend again. The accounts.xml is fullfilled with the correct data but
 Pidgin can't see it.
