Instant Messenger

Hi folks!
I'm looking for an Instant Messenger, which can display Messages
in the foreground of the screen (WinXP) while CS is running.
It should handle ICQ and of course not bring the game to background
or even kill it. You can say a kind of "teamspeak".
Any suggestions?

ru, Miller

I do believe that you will find Xfire exactly what you are looking for:

Except it doesn't talk to ICQ, AFAIK.

Erm.... trying to remember what it's called - ah yes, Trillian! Pretty sure it does ICQ - seems to
do most of the networks anyway.

Perhaps i can persuade my mates to try it out.

I'm using Miranda at the moment. But you can't place messagewindows on top
of (fullscreen-) CounterStrike. Does it work with Trillian? I want to chat with
my clanmates without interrupting the game.

Depends on whether you want a voice chat with only your friends or to
type it out. Typing no matter what is going to cause interruptions for
your game. There's no way around it.

Try one of these:

Chat:

Trillian
Xfire

Voice:

Teamspeak

Just curious, why not just use Teamspeak? Is it the everyone needs a mic
thing? Doesn't get any easier than TS.

Teamspeak is not an IM program, it is good for some things, but Xfire
does others.

You're right, TS is the easiest way. But not all of our "Noobie-Clan"
have microphones; mine is broken, too. And if you use ICQ for
example u've gotta switch between the windows, what makes it
unusable during the game.
