and I think..... ok.... I'll see who sent me a message... right after I climb down from the ceiling |shocking|

I think you can change the sounds. Not sure if you can disable them. I don't use it that much so never looked into it.

Yeah thought that was pretty funny about the roommates running to the door. I use to have the same problem kind of, everytime it made that noise my dog would jump up and starting barking at the door... usually took him 5 minutes to calm down and stop barking...lol

No one ever messages me on ICQ so I rarely get startled by the 'Uh Oh' . But that damn knocking noise scares the shit out of me at night. It is especially annoying in the morning when it wakes me up an hour before work or school.

I suppose I could turn my stereo off but I usually go to sleep with WinAmp playing something so its always on.

Ummm...main button on the icq panel choose preferences...in the window that opens halfway down the menu on the left is sounds and alerts...click that and in the main windows uncheck the play sounds. Apply


As far as Trilian is concerned, I had pretty good luck with that, but I stopped using it when it was using spyware a few years ago.
