What Operating System are you running?...As mentioned, install to another location, such as a mIRC folder on the desktop and see if that helps.
I am running Windows XP. The desktop is actually the location I chose when attempting this suggestion. Unfortunately, the result was the same. I double checked whether or not my administrator privileges were changed the moment I received the message about not having the appropriate rights to access the file, and again when re-installing today.
Beyond trying to get mIRC running again, I'd recommend telling your roommate not to change anything on your computer for any reason.
Heh, thank you for the suggestion. We have actually had that discussion many times, and generally he is pretty good about it. Being that he received a message from the 'security program', he did not consider that making the decision would affect anything, since from his perspective it only appeared to be malware.
I am still uncertain if this is the cause, but this was the time frame where I began having these difficulties. I still recall the mIRC application folder containing more files/folders prior to the re-installation. Could some one perhaps list the files that this folder would usually contain, so that I can be certain that the installation was completed in its entirety?
I realize this is may be a hassle, and ultimately have no purpose, in which case, I don't want to frustrate anyone with my problem. You have all been great thus far, and as I have said, I appreciate it.
