I can't install ICQ 5 Beta. It shows message: "The Beta trial for this version has ended"
This instruction don't work( http://www.icq-4u.com/ ):
"The ICQ 5 beta period is officially over, but don't let that stop you from installing it! If you try to install ICQ5 now, you will get this error: "The Beta trial for this version has ended"
When trying to install, the program checks with ICQ.com for permission to install but ICQ.com will refuse because the trial has ended. So ask ICQ-4u.com for permission instead!
To do that, you need to edit a file in your Windows directory. On Windows XP, the file is in the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and the file is called hosts (with no extension). On Windows 95/98/ME the file is in C:\WINDOWS\. Open this file in Notepad. Then add one line at the bottom: 80.190.244.8 cb.icq.com
Then install ICQ5. You can download the file from icq-4u.com. After installation the line doesn't have to stay in your hosts file, and having the line doesn't send icq-4u.com any information at all. In fact you can remove the line at the first installation screen, before entering any UIN or password information."
I connect through proxy(if I don't use proxy result is same).
