Re: mIRC

I assume you have the mirc install on your computer. Try setting the
Properties of the mirc install to XP compatible. Try running the install AS
ADMINISTRATOR.

Re: mIRC

It sounds as if you are using a limited account and not the Admin account to
have the appropriate privileges to run the application. I have mIRC 6.3
installed on my Vista machine with no issue.

Only recent versions of mIRC are multi-user aware, and so do not write to
Program Files, which UAC does not allow. So make sure you have the latest
version.

Also, when people saying install as Admin, they mean right click the
downloaded installer, and Run As Admin. Retards have been running 2000/XP
as Admin in normal use, so we are all lumped with this UAC bull.

Maybe mentioning this is not a good idea, if you are a newbie, but I think
mIRC is a hell of a lot better with nnscript. Not only does it look a lot
better, you get a lot more functionality.
