When I attempt to launch the application, I receive an error message that reads "Windows can not access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". I have been running mIRC for a while now, without incident. As far as I am aware, there have been no changes to my PC since I last ran the software successfully.
After this first occurred, I checked my anti-virus/firewall/internet security to make sure that the software had not been blocked, and it was listed as "allowed", so I don't suspect that to be the issue. I do recall that my room mate quarantined an mIRC file, not knowing what it was, but I removed it from quarantine, and assumed it would be fine. This is approximately when my complications began. I have since un-installed, then re-installed the program, but to no avail.
I am using version 6.21, which I believe is the most current version. I am on Windows XP, as well. As I am sure it has occurred to most who have read this, yes, I installed the account with administrative privileges, and have continued to run it on the same account since. If you require any more information, please let me know, and I will be happy to oblige as best I can.
I am not in any particular hurry, though I would like to sort this out before my registration with nickserv is no longer valid. Thank you for your time, and any assistance you can offer.
