Do this:
1- Copy the whole icq dir to a safe place, ideally on a different drive.
2- Uninstall icq using add/remove programs (this wil clean the registry of icq traces)
3- Remove the remains of the icq dir from your local drive
4- Copy back the whole folder you backed up, but don't try to launch it!!!
5- Reinstall icq on top of that dir. This will set it up properly on the registry, and will auto import your db.
