For those of you with ICQ trouble today - solution
 

goodgirl has been having trouble with her ICQ all day (runtime error, etc), so she did a little digging and found this:

http://www.icq.com/boards/view_repli...0115&tid=30227

She tried it, and it seems to be working, so you might want to give it a shot.

intresting thanks!

Thanks baddog ... I'll give it a try

Tried it, didn't work.

where do you find the shit ?

I think it worked for me... icq hasn't crashed yet

odd, mine is fine all day through the trillian client. normally, this piece of shit is the first thing to have issues. trillian has more bugs than unsupervised picnic.

http://www.miranda-im.org/ is the answer.

did that, worked fine for a bit, then crashed again

now i did "create new database" or something ... i lost all my icq history but atleast now it's running fine again

didn't work :(

Viper2k1 - sounds good, but I don't wanna lose all my history :(

Thanks, mine has been fucked up all day

I tried that earlier today and the same thing kept happening.

haha, I had to do the same thing bro. I'm surprised Trillian hasn't fucked up yet myself.

dbadmin.exe in ICQ main folder

didnt work :-(((((((((((((((

i already uninstalled mine and installed again and damn lost all history lol

mine never had troubles, icq or trillian client, but i see peeps all the time coming on and off that thing.
one of my buds here in the office had troubles with Gtalk because it was conflicting with something else he run so I think icq problem that many of yous have could be due to conflit with some other apps which might be trying to use same ports, etc. just something to think about..

I'll check that one out, thanks baddog.

I have done this off and on about every couple of months. My icq rarely messes up, but it started again tonight. I had to run this and it works fine.... for now. I am hiping it stays working. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall it (renamed the original folder) and it says I don't have administrative rights to install this program. which I DO. So I restored my pc back before I did that and ran the database thing and HOPEFULLY it is fine now.
