I tried out 2.0.0beta6 by installing it on top of 1.5.0 on my Windows XP machine but wasn't able to login to my AIM or ICQ accounts due to "Missing Protocol for <nick>" errors during login.
I uninstalled 2.0.0beta 6 and reinstalled 1.5.0, but now I have the same error. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling 1.5.0 several times with no luck.
Any ideas?

I just had the same problem installing Beta6 on my home machine (after having it work flawlessly at work for the past several months). When I looked through the C:\Program Files\Gaim folder and its subfolders, I noticed several files which were a couple of years older than the others -- which made me suspicious.
I uninstalled Beta6 and noticed that those files were still present, and couldn't be deleted from Windows Explorer.
I suspect that even though I shut down Gaim 1.4 before installing 2.0Beta6, Windows still had those files marked as "in use," and the installer couldn't replace them.
So, I restarted the computer, went in and removed all files in the C:\Program Files\Gaim folder (it let me do it this time), then reinstalled 2.0Beta6. My AIM and ICQ accounts then showed up and worked properly.

Try to edit each of the problematic accounts; simply select the appropriate protocol from the combobox and save each account.
I'm having the same problem here.
The problem is that there's no AIM type on the combobox. So i cannot select it.
