Forums mIRC Help I Can't Receive A DCC (Getting Locked Up)

Hello,

Three nights ago, I upgraded from my old 6.17 version to 6.2
Now I no longer am able to get a DCC transfer, chat, etc...

It gets even odder... Not only can't I receive a DCC transfer, chat, etc... But when someone sends one to me, I am effectivly frozen.
I am still able to type in the channel, and people see me typing, but I can not see their typing, nor am I able to join any other channels.

It is as if I have been disconnected, yet I am sort of still there... Though I can't do anything.

I have to disconnect, and then re connect in order to be able to chat again.

Can anyone at all help with this?? I went into the mirchelp channel on Undernet and asked about this, and the only thing I was told by one person, is that they too are having troubles with their DCC's. Other than that, no helpful information.

Nothing was changed on my PC. I am at a total loss as to what to do. I have even tried putting my old version back on, and now it does the same thing.

Common sense to me, says it can't be a problem with mIRC, yet what could possibly be doing this??
I have completly scanned the PC for viri, malware, adware... all is clean.


Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
