ICQ Pro 2003b WTF
 

So I decide to upgrade to the latest version, saved my contact list in a second location just to be sure its not messed up or lost...

Well now the dam thing wont connect for some dam reason its been all dam day...

I read some Help info on there website and says if you try to connect too many times within a given time it will reconnect once you have waited the probationary time ... So i have let it sit idle for like 3 fucking hours, then restarted pc and still nothing

What Gives,,,, anyone else run into this problem?

Uninstall that version. It's horrible and I had the same problems. Go back in and install 2003a for hahahahahahas 98 and it will work like a charm.

I have XP and it works just fine.

I got that problem and tried just about everything to fix it, without any luck.
It get kicked off at least twice every day and have to wait for bloody hours to get back online.

Most of the time I actually use go.icq.com now.

i have found the web based one to be very biggy and unstable

Are you behind a firewall? Make sure you got the right settings for that.

Should be in preferences -> connections

2003b is a piece of shit.

i tried installing it too but then went back to 2003a (its bug-free)

use trillian and get ICQ, MSN, IRC, AOL +more in one neat program :D


I've used it for years - it r0x and best part for me is that i can rename MSN Contacts a feature which Microsoft failed to put in their original msn messenger.
