    Whenever I try to open the application I get the following error:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.  You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

    I am an administrator of this XP Pro SP2 box and have had GAIM installed and operational for quite some time.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Dean

      Here's one thing I found:
      If I rename pidgin.exe to something else (dpidgin.exe) then it works.
      I'm not sure exactly what that means.
