Copy the databas folder from your old icq and paste in on your new computer. Then istall icq over that folder so the databasefolder comes correctly. Then just fill in your old uin and everythings set :)

I went to C:\ProgramFile\ICQ but could not locate a "database" folder. But i did find a folder that read "datafiles". Is it that same?
If not could you please tell me where i could locate the "database" folder. Thanks.

If u can, just copy the whole icq folder over to the other computer. And install it over that.

(if u just wanna backup your icq list, then zip down the 2000b folder, it named that in icq2000b)
