All you have to do is make a simple adjustment. Klick the "Main"
button in your ICQ panel. Then select "To advanced mode" and a button
"Services" will appear. There (under the button "services") you will
find all the missing features you described in your question.
I hope that this helps to solve the problem.

Clicking the Main button does NOT reveal a "to advanced mode" menu
option. Did you download and install 2003b before offering this
solution?

I´m sorry, I made a mistake. I confused versions 2003a with 2003b and
thought I had the most recent ICQ version running.
The features you are missing have really been removed. Trying for
about 2 hours now with the new version 2003b and carefully searching
the icq.com page I could not find why these features have been removed
or how they could be restored.
Even in the google groups (where usually you´ll find the latest infos)
( http://groups.google.de/groups?q=icq+2003b&hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=20&sa=N
)
there are no hints about the removal of the features.
What you could do if you need those features is go back to version
2003a.
I´ve tried the "downgrade" from the b to the a version and it worked
without a problem on a Windows 2000 profesional system.
Sorry that it´s not possible to provide a more satisfying answer and
sorry for the mistake in my first answer.

Thanks, but exactly how did you go about reverting to the "a" version?
I don't see it on www.icq.com as a downloadable alternative.

I had the older version still on my computer.
Please got to
( http://www.web52.de/download/ )
to get the ICQ pro2003a - version from our fast web-server.
Please rename the downloaded file (only the file extension needs to be
changed to .exe), for webserver security reasons I had to name the
file icqpro2003a.old
Please post a comment or another clarification request after the
download and setup so I can delete it from our server.

Thanks. I downloaded that file and now have it sitting on my desktop,
still trying to decide whether to revert to "a" or stay a little
longer with "b."

I decided to uninstall 2003b, but when I tried to execute the 2003a
file you provided, after renaming the extension as .exe, it failed. Do
you know why this might have happened?

I tried the procedure (including the download) step by step and it
worked perfectly.
Are you sure you did not make a mistake when renaming ?
The file name must be
icqpro2003a.exe
In case the file name is correct try to download the program again
form the given location. Maybe there was a problem with the download.
