I have uninstalled/reinstalled 5 times, with different versions of ICQ. I just got done formatting WinXP Pro, and reinstalling windows... ICQ Still crashes before it even loads.

Anyone else expierencing this?

I always run the "lite" version - had to many bad runs with the other one

Voodoo · 12-27-2002, 06:55 PM

Hmm...
It started on 2002a,
I installed the new 2003 version,
and have also tried ICQLite.
All crash when sending or receiving messages.

Trillian does the same thing.

do you use any kind of antivirus software or firewall ?
If you do, disable them and se what happends

All were disabled already.

When you reinstall ICQ, do you import the old database, or start out with a new clean one?

Voodoo · 12-27-2002, 07:22 PM

I've been starting a new one.

foolio · 12-27-2002, 07:22 PM

must be that tatoo you got

Spunky · 12-27-2002, 07:23 PM

wonder if its a conflict with Xp? I see your messages but shows your offline when i send back.Is this a fresh install of XP? or a copy.

Voodoo · 12-27-2002, 07:23 PM

I'm on a clean formatted install of WinXP Pro right now.
Just installing ICQ for the first time, and it's still crashing when sending/receiving.

Cohen · 12-27-2002, 07:36 PM

have you used the "windows update" function?
www.microsoft.com/windowsupdate

just to be sure als download the latest java client
http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html

Chapter7 · 12-27-2002, 07:38 PM
