Has this happened to you? - GoFuckYourself.com

AaronM · 03-15-2002, 01:25 PM

Running ICQ 2000b and every once in awhile it just decides to shut down. When I start the program again, it opens up then shuts down. Once I reboot then it is fine for a bit. I was just up for over 12 hours then it decided to shut down again. I have been running this version for a long time and this has never happened. I am not going to upgrade to 2001b so I am looking for other fixes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program and it keeps doing it.

Any suggestions?

I use 2000b as well and I am having the same problems lately!! I thought somebody has hacked my PC but then checked with 2 programs and it didn't find anything. It happened a few times about a week ago but now it seems fine.

YEP, I had to restart my computer twice.

I have 2001b installed and it is the biggest fucking pig of a program... takes forever to load for cryin out loud... ICQ was so much better before AOL bought it

I've heard that ICQ is trying to force people to upgrade, don't have any idea whether or not it's true...

Kinda like IE 5.5 crahsing a lot after IE 6 came out huh?

Nothing like this would surprize me. When they come out with some fun tools (CoughHACKcough) for 2001b then I will happily upgrade.

Throw away that 486...

I'm using 2000b and the most common bad thing that happens is that when someone else disconnects, it keeps him in the online part of the list for a few minutes or so.. All messages sent in the meantime don't get through to the recipient, and that goes vice versa.

Minte · 03-15-2002, 04:58 PM

Since i added ICQ plus..its worked great..plus no ads to look at..

payrollpete · 03-15-2002, 05:00 PM

your icq might be corrupt
i mean the logs / or a msg someone sent you

i had the same problem
then i ran the icq database converter, and it has a fix solution, just click that, and it like fixes your database and then it works perfect.

My solution is this:

Start
-> Settings
-> Control Panel
-> Add/Remove Software
-> Remove ICQ

Works like a charm. :-)

I'm stickin with 2000a..
No need to upgrade if what i have serves my purpose well.. and no problems with it..

It seems that everything that's upgraded anymore has some sort of problems.. or creates them.
