When i boot my windows , it stands on 91%. when i run icq it drops to 40%! now i got 3 explorer windows and ICQ and 40% resources (out of 128MB ram). ASSHOLES!!!!! :-) and yeh i know use sonork blah blah but all my friends is on ICQ and im used to it already.. its like women - you cant live without them , and cant live with them! :-) :-) [Correction] When i run ICQ its drops to 70%. but now i got 40%!

        You're all so damn right! In the beginning ICQ was a perfect program. Well not perfect but good enough. Until they made it a 6MB installation file... And btw I learned a new word : Bloatware :-) its the perfect definition for the type of ICQ... crappy big program filled with stupid features. The only good features are the regular messages, file transfer, chat and sms (i dont like typing like one hour on a cell just for a msg, anyway i dont have a cell :-) :-) ) - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"

                      I just don't allow messages/urls from people not on my contact list. The only spam I get is from when I do a fresh install and forget to make that change :-P The setting is somewhere in the Security/Privacy options :) James Sonork: Hasaki "I left there in the morning with their God tucked underneath my arm their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.

                        You don't have to send a feedback, and not talking only about you, but about many people in Linux communities for example. Who can stop some Microsoft's software checker to enter and read what linuxoids say? :) Well, it is just my thought. But here is another. Point me why "Windows sucks"? :) Most of people just being jelaous that Bill and not them has all those billions :) And this is the MAIN reason why people say bad about Windows and Microsoft. The only software in this world that doesn't have any bugs is... "Hello world!" :) Philip Patrick Web-site: www.saintopatrick.com "Two beer or not two beer?"

                            All the people I know use ICQ too, but I found Miranda ICQ which is designed as a lightweight ICQ program. You can get a copy here: http://miranda-icq.sourceforge.net/ Have fun, Kevin
