Troubleshooting Instructions  
    
Problem Possible Solution
1) The option for "Internet/Telephony Games" does not appear when you right-click on a person This option only appears when Advance Mode is enabled. To enable Advanced mode click on the "ICQ" button and select "Advanced Features" then follow the instructions on that dialog.
2) The "Please Wait..." message does not disappear when the game is launched This can be caused by the Command Line Argument not being properly set for the game. The person who made the original Invitation to play should check their Command Line setting to make sure it matches what is above.
