Level, could you be running mIRC as a "service"? (altho im not sure you can with XP, seems to me its a 9x thing) take a look at the properties for your mIRC icon (or start menu entry) and see if you have a -service specified in the command line. As i recall, the point of running it as a service is so mIRC will stay active even when you log off of the computer.
