Happened to me. I figured it was spyware thing.

I tried a lot of different things. Two things worked - installing your icq on another machine (I didn't port over the history though cuz I was concerned about maybe moving a spyware file).

That worked for a while. Then it started happening again. I went back to the old machine and started using ICQ 5. Eventually it started happening with ICQ 5 and I moved back to ICQ Pro. Not really sure what it was ... maybe just a bug with the software. The one thing I couldn't do was move back from the existing version of ICQ to the old (fucked up version) too soon... or it started happening again on the new version as well. (BTW I tried completely uninstalling ICQ ... but that didn't work ... because even completing uninstalling the software leaves some files laying around... and hence the reason i used to think it was a spyware thing)


ps...if it works... keep the $100 ... the pleasure of knowing that I could help stop somebody else's icq frustrations is thanks enough
