I have an LC520 that it works fine on. What version of the OS are you
using? Something makes me think your machine needs NortonUtilities (or
DiskEssentials) run on it, and/or re-installing the OS.

ICQ just takes a flipping long time to do all its server stuff the first
time. If you leave it alone for a while (like an HOUR) it might work.
That's what I finally had to do. After that it worked fine. (As fine as
this kludgy prog will run on a mac ;-=)

While I don't particularly care for ICQ on a personal basis, you should
know that it actually runs less poorly on a 68040 than it does on a 486.
There are a couple of people with whom I keep in touch using it and I have
way less latency on my low-end 8500 than they do on their high-end
Pentiums.

The folks at Mirabilis are notoriously slow about integrating features
into the Mac clients, though.

Yes the registration process on a mac takes so long it seems broke. ICQ 
for the 68k machine sucks try something like http://www.aol.com/aim/ .

In the beginning there was nothing. God said, "Let there be light."
And there was still nothing, but everybody could see it.

FYI:
I run a PM7300, OS8.
I gave up on ICQ - too many problems - including system errors, hangs
etc.  I use ichat. No problems.

If you have a powermac, you should use icq 1.2.7 ... runs
quite well.

I stopped using ichat because my Performa 6400 crashed a lot
and because the Mac version isn't supported any more.

I had the same problem trying to run ICQ on my LCIII 20/80.  Double 
click the icon, the thing zooms open, and a moment later, zooms closed 
again.  That's it.  It's not sitting doing anything - and doesn't do 
an "unexpectedly quit" or anything.

It works ok on my Quadra 840av though.  So I think it might be the 030 
chip.. maybe it needs to be at least 040?

Nothing to do with the system, or anything though - my Quadra's hard 
disk is a copy of my LC's, so it's all the same.

bye for now

Sorry, I said in my last post I was on an LC520... that's got an 030. So
we know it'll work on an 030, which the LCIII has. So what version of the
System is actually on your machines?

I hope you had a Universal install if you just dragged the System Folder
onto another machine. Otherwise you might miss out on certain resources.

I heard it needs 7.5 - I have 7.1 so there you go...

ICQ has a new version 1.4.1 now ... with chat ... the versions for
PowerMac and 68K mac are identical now. Maybe they give less problems
...
