Is it version 2002A because that's what I'm running and it installed fine on my 2K machine.........

Try uninstalling it and reinstalling.

Are you comfortable messin' around in the registry? You may need to do a search in there and get rid of some instances of it.

Try RegCleaner if you're going that route and haven't directly edited your registry before. It's an easy to use tool and you can restore what you delete if your machine reboots.

The URL is: http://www.vtoy.fi/jv16/shtml/regcleaner.shtml

Hope that helps.

I run ICQ with Win2kpro wihtout any problems.
I would unisntall the program
Then clean the registry of all instance of Maribillas (sp?) and Icq.
Then download fresh copy
Install it.

make sure your log on as access rights to be installing and running programs.

ok first thanks for the program scott tiger

so i'm working now with Win2k i reinstalled ICQ four times and it doesn't work
and my XP problem is bigger as you think i cant start XP because Win2k made a boot loader and when i choose WinXP it searches win2k files (stupid Windows)
and if i could start XP i would come into the login and then the PC would crash after 10 seconds, there were some threads about my problem!
