Hi,
My friend and I are both using Windows Vista. I've Trillian as ICQ
client and my friend uses QIP. We're using version "Windows (0.3.1)".
is the version too old? is there any other (maybe easy to use, since
most of my friends would be scared if there is much trouble at the
installation) possibilty to use OTR with trillian/etc. ?

thanks a lot!
greetings, C
