A few days ago I’ve stumbled upon an odd error regarding Pidgin messenger (under Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium): it has been defined as “queue underflow”. Regardless of researching this issue I haven’t found what does it mean, although fortunately I’ve managed to successfully fix it. What has worked for me in this case was the following:
- Uninstall Pidgin.
- Delete folders:
C:\Users\Your Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\.purple
.C:\Users\Your Windows user name\AppData\Local\gtk-2.0
.C:\Program Files\Pidgin
;
As a curiosity, a simple method to quickly reach the
AppData
folder is to use Win key+R keyboard shortcut, paste or type%appdata%
, confirm by the enter key. You’ll end up inRoaming
sub-folder - to reach all the rest subfolders (includingLocal
which You need in this case) just tap onAppData
label on top of the window and then You can enter theLocal
directory as well.
- Install and configure Pidgin again - the error should not occur anymore.
