iChat is not working after uninstalling iMessage beta

Hey all.

When the iMessage beta was available I installed it. After several uses I decided I didn't like it and re-installed iChat.

Now the iChat does not work at all.

My buddies do not stay in the list and are always listed as Offline eventhough I know they are available for chats.

I took my Macbook pro to the Genius Bar where we re-installed everything but no luck.

I can now only chat from my ipod touch but I'd like to use my macbook for chats too.

How can this problem be fixed?

Thanks for your input.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Late 2011 Model
