Common Installation Problems

If you encounter a missing DLL file error, we recommend you download the installation file again. The full installation file contains all the necessary DLL files for ICQ.
Fatal Exception errors usually occur if you are running the installation while other applications are running. Please shut down all open applications but leave the Internet connection open. Run the installation again, and continue registration to receive your own ICQ number.
