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

Hey, Zel said to look for the 'connection manager' and you should be able to fix everything from there... but let him know if you're stiil stuck I'm sure he can help you fix it, we used to run Trillian before we got the new comp and have separate user accounts. *hugs*

When you go to log in, does it give you the option of which profile to log in to?

I created a new contact list to store my contacts, and I told it not to log me automatically. Your contacts should still be showing under "My Contacts"... I was having the same problem when I was trying to set it up, which is why it created that second "My Contacts" list (which I went in and deleted everything from, since it was only *my* contacts... I checked to make sure of that before I got rid of it. I couldn't actually delete the folder though.

If you want, I can come back out there and see if I can figure it out.

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.
