I have been using ICQ 2000a for a while now, with no problems at all. All of a sudden, I am unable to send or receive any ICQs - any time I try and read or send a message, icq.exe dies with a fatal error. I tried reinstalling 2000a on top of my current install - same problem. I tried installing a new copy of 2000a and bringing over the database - the DBConverter dies with a fatal error. Tried installing 2001a and bringing over the db - DBConverter dies.
So, I go to my secondary pc (with a working 2000a install) and try to upgrade to 2001a, so I can upload my contact list and then download it on my primary pc. DBConverter dies with fatal error (what a POS).
Now, I am unable to do anything at all, because anytime I try to connect to ICQ, I get the message:
"Rate limit exceeded. Please try to reconnect in a few minutes."
So, I'm going nuts now. I REALLY don't want to lose my contact list, as I have about 200 people on it. Anyone have any ideas what I can do, or what my latest message means?
