If you press Alt+0 (zero) and you are in an mIRC desktop window, it will jump to the main mIRC window. as a guess mIRC is looking for window #b and not finding it. alt + some other keys are valid combinations in other circumstances /help alt

OP vexed Vogon poet V Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 164	i've narrowed it down after spending a long time searching Code: ON *:JOIN:#:if ($nick == $me) dll $mircdirsystem\dll\CNICK_v2.dll JOIN $target that code along with the dll highlights mode prefixes next to nicknames in the nicklist, i disabled it and i don't get the error, so why does opening the address book up cause that error when that code is being used?
