ICQ/Trillian Help?

Hey!! I need help, like usual :]
I've been gone for a long week to the beach... (What fun that was!) Any-who.... I tried to log onto ICQ today (338081862) and it didn't work, I knew I had my password correct cause I logged on it at the beach at least once, I'm trying to change my password, and I ask for the little "Changed password code" And i try to use it as my password and it won't let me sign in on Trillian.... I've read the only way you can switch your ICQ password is through ICQ. I'm just wondering if that's true or not. I even tried to make a new ICQ number, and the trillian didn't connect to that either. I rebooted my computer, authorized everything i could authorize and still nothing :\ I have an AIM i can use if anyone with icq needs to contact me, it's RedUOSonoma.

Thanks!

oh yes we had the same problem earlier this week .... but yay there is a fix :)

in this link on Trillian forums ... CLICK HERE there is a link for the fix ... aim.dll ... :)

Please try the attached patch and let me know the results. You should overwrite old aim.dll with this file.

all we had to do is replace the downloaded & opened aim.dll zip file with the aim.dll file/s found in our trillian program ....

dang too slow. I also found that new aim.dll file on the icq forums, and it fixed my error 127 right away too.

trillian is a godlike program that allows you to have your icq, aim, yahoo, and msn messenger programs all running at once without having them each running their own program


really cool i recommend it to everyone who using multiple messenger programs


love bri

been using it for at least 7 years .... rarely gives me problems ... its the independent IM's that seem to cause the problem (when they upgrade or do something silly) and Trillian catches up to them ... like uoassist would do with uo client :)

I also highly recommend using trillian instead of icq. not only can it also add the other messaging systems inside trillian, but its far more stable than icq ever was.

I used to crash icq every 6 months. I had over 6,000 people on icq in the old days and I had to delete 200 every weekend just to try to keep pace with all the new adds. And every 6 months or so I blew icq out and had to start again.

I've used trillian for about 8 yrs now and I havent crashed it once (although I only have about 800 people on icq/trillian now). I do back it up on memory sticks every month or so just in case I ever need to reinstall it.

Thanks for the info everyone and I appreciate the link, Queen Mum.

As for ICQ crashing........6,000 people on your ICQ, KD?! Wow! I think I know who was crashing ICQ all this time. LOL
