Drat! Only a certain amount of users can test ICQ 2001a! Once, I did manage to download all the components, but I ended up getting an error message with the ICQToolsInstaller.dll! However, I did apply to be a beta tester for ICQ 2001b Alpha, when it comes out! :)

Righty then - I've got all the files for this that I downloaded aaaaaages ago. Now whenever I install ICQ 2001a, it downloads right, now - what I don't get is that these files are already on my pc where I extracted the files.

I don't understand this.

hmm...speakin of ICQ, is it ever outta alpha/beta? Because it seems like since I started using it along time ago....3 or 4 years or something, it has never been outta alpha or beta..

Hey I seem to be having a problem with ICQ 2001a that noone else is having. It crashes randomly with a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error, stating that "it has asked the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way." I run Windows XP build 2600 and this problem started happening after I did a System Restore. The System Restore was to a point after I installed ICQ 2001a, so that couldn't be the problem. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I'm scared to reinstall ICQ cause I don't want to be locked out.

No. I have been using it for that long too and it has always been alpha/beta. Why I don't think anybody knows!

Ah, just like Napster! They just don't want to go out of beta just to frustrate users!

ICQ is a poorly designed program, takes way more memory than it should (6-10mb) and they never fix bugs, just pile on more new useless features

[MulletRobZ]

I'd say! I also tried Trillian and I don't like it! Interface is too complicated and buggy! But ICQ appears to be somewhat stable enough on my Windows 98 SE!
