Привет Саша! Thank you for your help! Unfortunately I'm not using neither of
the programs. Я пользуюсь програмой по имени Trillian, It's like the program
you are talking about! I figured something out with a use of a second
computer. People from Russia use a different code page. (If you know what
that is). I created a second ICQ account, and chatted from one comp to
another. And I was able to see every single word! Moreover, I have a friend
in Moscow, whose Russian I see fine! So I'm doomed here!

Hi, Ilya, My name is Sasha and I have a similar kind of a problem. If you are
using the ICQ (5.1, 6.0 or any other version) client, you can try setting the
location as Russia and the format to Russian, that's what I did in XP. Also,
if you install an alternate ICQ client, like QIP ( www.qip.ru ) the problem
can be resolved.
