Does this also happen when closing Gaim and re-starting it? Does he also lose
verified fingerprints? I would guess that Gaim is unable to write the key
files onto the disk, for whatever reason. I don't know where Gaim keeps its
profile files under Windows, but he could check whether his
$GAIM/otr.fingerprints and $GAIM/otr.private_key files exist and are writable.
