App background black on load; can't add accounts

Post by five_elements »

Hi,

I just downloaded the latest version of Adium. I opened it and app shows up with a black background. I also can't add IM accounts:

* Went to Adium > Preferences.
* Clicked '+' button at the button left corner of the screen.
* Dropdown appeared, but did not list any account types for me to add.

I already tried reinstalling, searching the forums, updating, creating a new user and resetting the preferences.

Adium 1.4.3
Mac OSX 10.6.7

Screenshots attached.

Thanks for all the help in advance!

Is there any output in the console when you launch Adium?

And by resetting preferences, what do you mean by that exactly?

Hey David, thanks for the response!

By resetting the preferences, I mean I followed the steps in http://trac.adium.im/wiki/Preferences.

This is what I get in the console after logging in, opening preferences and clicking the '+' button to add an account:

Hey David, thanks for the response!

By resetting the preferences, I mean I followed the steps in http://trac.adium.im/wiki/Preferences.

This is what I get in the console after logging in, opening preferences and clicking the '+' button to add an account:
Yea even i had the same problem. Resetting solved it :)
