In your ICQ directory there's a database folder... in 2000a it's "2000a" and in 99b it's "db99b"... save that folder...

after you format and install new icq, replace the new database folder with the contents of the old folder... then run ICQ database converter and your contacts will be back...

Do a search at download.com for ICQ there is a program there that will back it up for you..
