Well, I've not been able to get the damn thing to work the last few times I've tried getting it to work. So ...

Where do I download it from? And what am I doing wrong?

Well, let's start off with "where do I download it from", and then we'll move on to the second ...

But, hey, third time's the charm ...

http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10060-100-5548053.html?tag=st.dl.10001.pop.10060-100-554805

that should work ...

Download.com is the best , if you goto icq.com you will get lost in a flood of ads.

Anyway , theres a users guide at Download.com too.

Just Download , Install , Create Your ICQ Number , and your ready to go.

I'm assuming you're just using a standard dial-in modem, cable or LAN connection. The main problem I've found with installing it is if you have a firewall. Do you?

It's hard to tell what you're doing wrong if you don't describe any of the problems you've experienced with it

I'm behind a firewall and it works fine, have never encountered any probl�mas. Only problem seems to be if I were to host a multiplayer game of any sort, my GameSpy software warns me about that. But joining works fine.

Only one solution for you: Complete system rebuild. That usually solves my hard to solve problems. And it cleans thing sup nicely.

It doesn't matter if you don't know what you're doing as long as you look good doing it.

And if a tile falls of the roof of your house, do you relay the foundations and redo all the decorations?

Rebuilding your computer everytime something goes wrong is about as subtle as using a sledgehammer to put a poster up.

Jeff, WHY won't it work? Does it install? When you doubleclick on it, does the program run?

I vaguely remember that you if you haven't got a certain .dll on your computer, you need to install it. Since you're not a moron, I'm sure you can cope with some banner adverts. Check at ICQ.com.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Jeff: Actually, I meant you should describe the errors the program threw at you when you tried to get it to work

Anyway... Liam's suggestion might help, so get crackin'!

I think I have it working. Figuring out how to use it, on the other hand ...

My ICQ # (best as I can tell), is 93264098 ...

So. Hmmm. How do I use it?

Yes. Personally, I'd recommend changing into single window message mode, rather than using the double screen. The double one takes up too much space, and is always visible. The single one disappears when you send a message.

The single one is like texting (SMS-ing) on a mobile phone. The split one is like texting on a mobile phone, and then sticking the phone to your monitor while trying to surf the internet.

One thing though Jeff, change your name. "Kattus Magnus" got be believing that UM had returned (which got me strangely excited). You should leave the name "magnus" as a mark of respect, in case our slightly psychotic friend should ever return.

There are plenty of other Transformers to choose from. Might I suggest "Windbreaker"?

I think Omega might prefer "Cliff Jumper"...

Actually, my name change was to honor First's cat. I almost ressurected that thread, but decided against it

Anyhoo ...
