I am running win 2k professional on my system and having trouble getting icq working. I have it working fine as administrator, but do not want to stay logged in as administrator 24 / 7. I have a power user setup, and ICQ installed (I installed it while I was a administrator, and get the poweruser privliges to access it). Everytime I try to run ICQ it starts up as if I was setting up a new account, and asks me to set ICQ up (enter icq #, password etc). It registers my user, then asks me to click the start button (that it presents in the setup procedure). After clicking that it shows me the welcome to icq message and has a Runtime Error. "Runtime Error! Program C:\program files\icq\icq.exe
abnormal program termination"

Any ideas guys. Thanks in advance for ur help!

Hmmm, ICQ is fine for me as a power user. I do not recall doing anything special as admin to grant power users (or anyone) to use ICQ.

i had a similar prob when i used to use win98. everytime i launched icq it would start up the registration process. but after a while it just stopped doing it.

im having no probs at all with icq in win2k.

I have the same exact problem in win98se, it will be good for a couple of days but right out of the blue it formats itself and makes me go threw the regrestation process again. pisses me off:|, what really piss me off is that i had like 90ppl in icq now i can't even find those ppl to back in their!

I think its a bug with ICQ itself thats why no one knows, so i guess we have to be paitent for the next realease.
