How do I install ICQ99a and will I lose my old list?
Run icq99a.exe and make sure you install it in your old ICQ directory otherwise your contact list will be lost.
If you want to install to another directory copy db directory and move it to the new ICQ directory.
Run ICQ Database Converter which is included on ICQ99a, for your old list to be imported to ICQ99a, including your message history.
The safest way I found of installing ICQ is first uninstalling it and deleting default in C:\Program Files\ICQ,
but make sure you backup the db directory and install the new version.
Copy db directory back for your list to be intact later with ICQ99a.
After you have uninstalled the old version and installed the new version register your old ICQ UIN, Shutdown ICQ,
Run ICQ Database Converter and all your list should have been imported, including the message history >:o)=

• 1) download ICQ
• 2) Make a copy of DB file from ICQ programs file to your desktop.(while waiting for download)
• 3) Scan for Virii ( always do ) just for safekeeping.
• 4) Run scan disk and defrag ( not necessary but always a good idea with new programs )
• 5) Close all running programs ( not necessary but helps )
• 6) Start installation
• 7) Restart computer
• 8) Connect to internet
• 9) Goto start --- programs--- ICQ--- click on Database Converter (this also cleans up errors in the program )
• 10) Enjoy the ICQ

  Sometimes if a problems occurs. Copy the new DB file. Then run the Data Converter in your ICQ folder.

  • ( Some people might want to even reinstall or download all over again because of corrupted install or from not following the 10 steps.)
  • I have found this helps with some errors.
  • Clean up your contact history folders you would not believe how much space is wasted in ICQ history. This also helps things run smoother
  • Please consult to the [ ICQ Message Boards ] for any other questions and answers.
