After a long painfull reinstall and surviving for several weeks, I have finally decide to install my ICQ. Due instability of ICQ 2001 I decided to install ICQ 2000. But sadly after I've completed the installation and try to send a message, the program stop responding. Most annoying thing is when I try to rerun the program, aparently my message was sent, and I receive a reply - but when the message window open the program stop responding again.
I then tried the ICQ 2001 and the result is the same - ICQ stop responding when the message window pop-up. This thing never happen to me before and I found this problem very frustating.
My PC currently have Win98 1st Edition installed as OS. I would appreciate any suggestions to rectify this problem. 
Side Note :
@Mods : I post the topic on SYM - not on Tech Support Forum since I don't think It's related with gaming. But I'll leave the decission to you - should you prefer this topic on Tech Forum anyway
@Weasel : Sorry for not replying your message, matey. As U can see I've got more probs on my PC again

I think there's a 2002 version of ICQ now, you could try that?

With the current status of my ICQ, the thought of upgrading ICQ is never crossed my mind

My advice would be to forego ICQ completly, and move to MSN. It is a much more stable instant messenger, and not as annoying as ICQ is, but thats MHO.

In Trillian you're able to use MSN, AOL, Yahoo!, IRC and ICQ simultaneously (sp?) - AND there are NO spyware or adware plugins. It's completely free... (sorry if I sound like a commercial, but I really think it's better than each of the IM-programs is... and I've tried them all. ) 
No worries,
Beldin

@Beldin : Thanks ! I'll try and download it tonite Out of curiousity, can it import the ICQ & Yahoo database (I mean the contact lists) ?
Comments on MSN messenger : I personally never like Micro**** product. But since most progs runs on Micro**** Windows system, I'm stuck with Win 98 1st edition, why not the Win98 SE ? Because I've tried it and when apply the shut down patch it's not working

| It imported the ICQ and MSN lists without a glitch - with Yahoo I've never tried importing since I had Trillian BEFORE a friend of mine appeared with his Yahoo "adress"..
I like it mostly because you don't have to install any other IM client software/spyware...but maybe I'm just paranoid...
No worries,
Beldin
