Outdated: ICQ has shut down their services on June 26, 2024.
Wanna go back in time? ICQ6 – i’m sure you remember – was an essential in the early 2000’s for many of us young millennials alongside of MSN Messenger.
Of course. nothing can eff with the mighty MSN, but i changed my password recently and couldn’t log in. Their server didn’t accept my ICQ6 knocking on the door.
The support told me that i should download the latest brickwall, rectangle, lifeless ICQ. Uhhhh, after a second request begging them for a workaround, still a “nope”. So i just analyzed this old, abandoned software for experimental purposes.
Here’s a quick fix.
- Download ResourceHacker.
- Open the program.
- Drag ICQ6.exe into it.
- Click “VersionInfo” on the left side.
- Replace every old version number with this one: 6.0.0.6043
- Click Save.
You can now log in again! Would be a shame
if you couldn’t!
Add me for the lulz: 351846929.
Let’s act like it’s 2006.
