Forums mIRC Help Difficulty Running 2 Mirc instances

I havent seen anyone else having this problem.

i have my primary mirc which i use for chat, and then i have a bot that runs on mirc

i just reinstalled mirc 6.31 after a fresh reformat in 2 separate directories, and now for some reason thats eluding me, they are sharing settings, scripts, everything apparently
i can not get them to work independently.

everytime i change something or add something to one, it runs in the other one too! the same with removing things.

Am i missing something, been using mirc for over a year and never had this issue.
