Question

Been playing with Trillian today to avoid installing both, but the MSN support in the latest version of Trillian (.73 or .75, can't remember) is buggy enough to be quite annoying.

Hence thinking about installing ICQ stand alone so I can keep MSN 4.6 - anyone running this already?

TIA,

Chris.

yes both can run together.

or why not use go.icq.com for your icq, and just leave msn messenger installed?

Don't tell fibs Michelle, your MSN is FUBAR

Yes Chris, they do co-exist.

You might wish to d/l trillian http://www.ceruleanstudios.com and you can run ICQ/MSN/Y!/AIM all from the one control panel.

Erm - read Chris's post again. It's the MSN support in Trillian that he's trying to avoid!

The new version of Trillian doesn't send your font choice to the remote MSN user, so they get a dire, hard read type face. No MSNesq contact online popups from the SysTray either

Cool

WGAS about font choice?

And you can set up individual events to notify you of contacts coming online etc from the preferences screen....

When the person on the other end struggles to read your message, then right about then

Yeah, I played with the popups and stuff. Better but not as good as MSN - hence the number of posts in the support forums asking for MSN popups!
