Need some help with ICQ.

I have just installed ICQ on my 2nd computer and when I looked in my Contact List it was empty.. Why? Do I have to add the same people again or is there are there any other way to retrive them?

Re: Need some help with ICQ.

There could be an easier way but here's what I would do:

Go into Windows Explorer. Go to C:\Program Files\Icq\NewDB. Then copy all the files from that directory and replace the ones on the other computer.

Exactly... and make a backup copy of those files in case you encounter a problem someday (I lost all my contact list last month and it's really painfully long to get everybody back on the list)

Ok, thanks! But, there is a problem with that solution, the other comp. is at the moment at my fathers house and he went to Italy last night and are going to be there for 2-3 months, witch means that I can't get to that computer..
But thanks for the advise!

Then you're doomed... try to get someone who has a lot of the same people as you in his contact list to send it to you...

There is no folder called "NewDB" Where can I find the files then?

Well there ought to be. I have ICQ 99a, I guess yours could be different since you have a newer version.

Re: Need some help with ICQ.

i think you should copy all files (in all subfolders of ICQ) that includes in its name your ICQ number.

i did that last time and it worked.

Boy, I wish I had known that before bmilder
The way I did it was take the whole ICQ folder off of my old comp, than install ICq on my new comp, than swap all the files except for the DLL files.
