how to save ICQ list

[byron]

i just did another format and reinstall... i saved my old icq folder and i want to find the file that includes my contact list so i can load it in my new install of icq. could anyone shine some light on where i can find this file?

it should be in the db folder or if you were using 2000, the 2000b folder.

i copied the 2000b folder over and when i start icq it asks me if im a new user or existing user and connection type and so forth..... the normal stuff when you first install.... then i put in existing user and when it tries to start icq it throws up an illegal operation.

don't copy over the folders, until you've gotten it all re connected, then move the databases in behind it's back, it'll think they've been their forever.
I've had to do that a few times myself.

its still giving me illegal operations........ im not sure if it makes a difference but my old install was from a win2k install and this is a 98se install... which of those files in the 2000b folder is it... does it need all of them.

GOT IT! i forgot about something........ i had all my stuff saved on cdr's so they were marked as read only and weren't archive files... so i had to change the properties....
thanks for the help
