Running multiple instances of ICQ 6?
 

I was recently obligated to install ICQ 6 after a long battle of keeping 5.1 avoiding all the probs ICQ 6 had.

With ICQ 5.1 lite i was able to run multiple instances of icq (2 accounts running simultaneously) and now can't seem to find a way to replicate this with ICQ 6.


Does anyone know how to achieve this without using 3rd party software (i.e. Trillian) ?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone know anything about this?

get a mac pimp and embrace adium

You can do it with Trillian easy enough. Dunno about ICQ6.

I liked this new version!

Dont know if that can be done or not.

I know how to do it,it's very easy.

Hey Klen,

Care to share ? :) hehe

i need to export my contact list so i can add it to my new icq num

Adium does this if you are on Mac.

You could always run the process as a different user.

Method number one:use alternative clients like qip,pidgin and others.For example i use miranda for main icq number and qip for alternative number.Qip is clone of icq 5.1 and presently best icq client in my opinion.
Method number two:using virtual desktops-with this method you can run unlimited instances of almost any program(some programs have protection against that)
This is program which allows that:

Use Pidgin. It is stable, you can add as many accounts as you want, it is free, history is searchable, many protocols supported...

It's pretty much the best thing out there, paid or free.

sounds like a bad dream... multiple icqs running... so many hot chicks will want to talk to you! haha
