Ok, I give. Who knows Trillian? A friend was using my laptop to get some stuff done (which I don't mind I said they could) and added a connection to my Trillian account. Now, only their contacts are showings, even tho it claims I am logged in. There were two My Contacts tabs at the top of the screen that I some how did something with (shouldn't try to think before noon, I may never figure out what I did) and now can't figure out how to get them back and sure the hell don't know what the hell to do to get MY CONTACTS!!!! back. I'm not blaming anybody (yet) I'm just really not happy about this inconvenience. :P

Unfortunately, there's no way to have two separate user profiles under Trillian yet. This happened to me when I was in Michigan. I thought, using XP, that both Cindy and I could run Trillian with different contacts. Ran it and, suddenly, both of our contact lists merged, which wasn't good since both of our contact lists are so big. The good news though, is the fact that all the IM services except ICQ store their contact lists on their server, so your buddy lists are still on the server, but you might have to uninstall/reinstall Trillian to get everything set back up the way you had it. As far as ICQ goes, look for an .idx file on your machine. That will be your ICQ contact list. The file name will be (your icq #).idx. That will be the file that you will refer to when it asks you to import an old contact list.

In the future, if someone asks to use your machine for IM purposes, point them at AIM Express or ICQ2Go.

Hope that helps.

Yes, you can set up a separate profile. When you tell it to create the new login, it asks you where to store the contacts.

Well, that seem to be a good theory. It didn't work that way. All our contacts are pretty well merged. Unless you gave everyone and thier brother my hotmail and icq. And everyone is showing when I have it open. I know there are far more showing thne I have in my contacts
