im running panther and have been using ichat ever since, i would say about two weeks. then i got home one afternoon and tried to turn it on and it bounced once and never came on, the little arrow on the dock was underneath it and everything. i dont think i did anything out of the ordinary to make it stop working, so i trashed and d/l another version and it wouldnt let me install because it said not supported on this OS!!?!?

uhmmm im i missing something? i havent heard anyone with problem, yet.

and now ichat cost $30!!!?!?!

LOL, now im really lost.

You need to reinstall it from your Panther CDs. And it costs $30 to download for Jaguar users. Panther users have it on their install CDs so no worries for them.

I think you need to extract it using Pacifist 1.6...

As I remember the Ilife apps were on disk 2 of the Panther CDs
Suicide Bombers: That never-say-die spirit. No, that's not right.
