ICQ dosent start

Post by Blueneko »

Does anyone have problems with running icq?
ever since i downloaded it(new beta 2002b or something)
i used to have 99b working. but its been a while since ive been using icq, but i would liketo have used it recently, but i cant get it to connect.

I do everything it says, check connection, check server numbers, nothing works, any ideas?

Was it a clean install of ICQ, or did you install over your existing 99b ICQ? What doesn't work? It says it cannot connect to the server?

It was a fresh install, I last used icq99b long ago on another computer before the new one.

Can not find server, only repeats several times can not connect, Ive changed the numbers for servers back and forth to default and search for new, yet nothing works
