ICQ can kiss my BUTT!

For the 15th time in a row I came home to my computer to find it locked up again! Again, the offending application is ICQ! ARGH! If ICQ weren't critical to my communication methods, I wouldn't run the dang thing at all! Anyone have any ideas? This seems to be linked (maybe) to my installation of Windows ME, though I can't be sure. I'm running what I think to be the latest build of 2000a (3143). It's funny that it only seems to die when I'm away from my computer for long periods of time, and, no I don't have a screen saver or any of that evil power manglement going on here...heck, my screen doesn't even shut off...

Anyone have any ideas?

Well....what if you just Turned it off when you're going to be away for a long time? http://www.augustknights.com/ubb/smile.gif

I know it's a dumb way to reply but, doesn't that seem to be the logical thing to do?

I've noticed the same problem happen to me about 3-4 time already within 2 weeks. I have the ICQ 2000 or whatever they're calling the latest version. I hate the new layout, and I hate all the menu's, assorted crap and goofy sounds. ICQ, kiss my butt~
