| 118538 | 2003-02-05 03:04:00 | Im wanting to run 2x ICQ number at the same time on the same PC. Is it possible??? Also, Im wanting to migrate my old contacts to my new number - Can it be done simply with a program (Im using ICQ Lite here) or do I need to do it one at a time manually??? Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 118539 | 2003-02-05 05:22:00 | Have you searched on internet? I know there is a program out, that you can download and it enables you to run more than one MSN Messenger account at the same time . Found out about this throught the internet, so maybe you could do the same for ICQ? |

| 118541 | 2003-02-05 05:53:00 | The full version has the option to send contacts, but I'm not sure about importing at the other side. To run two, you might have to run a lite version and a full version. I'm not sure that will work either. You might have to modify the install path for one of them. | wotz (335) | ||
| 118542 | 2003-02-05 06:16:00 | Like me, I have no friends on ICQ so I tend to talk to myself alot. I run ICQ and Trillian. You could use ICQ2Go (web-base) and make it look like you have 2 friends on your contact list. Basically any program that can run ICQ other than the official ICQ should work. I don't know if Linux version's of ICQ have been ported to Windows but you could try them. |

Ummm, yes you can . :p :D Like Kame says, use ICQ proper and Trillian . > Also, Im wanting to migrate my old contacts to my new number I haven't tried doing it with ICQ but with Trillian I just grabbed the folder with all the contacts in it and pasted it over the new (empty) contacts folder . With ICQ proper I have the following information in my notes for backing up ICQ . Note that it's a bit old now and thus refers to an older version of ICQ but it may still apply: ICQ: This one is pretty easy to backup . First, upgrade your version of ICQ to the newest version . Then, you need to find your install directory . Open up Windows Explorer (Start, Programs, Windows Explorer) . From there, go to your ICQ directory (if you didn't specify the installation directory elsewhere, it's C:\Program Files\ICQ . ) From there, go to the "2000b" directory, and take all the files and back them up . These are the contact list files that you have, and it's the easiest way to keep them in the "post-apocalyptic" time after a nuke . The files you need all start with your ICQ number, with differing extensions . Hopefully that will be of some help to you . :-) |
