Vista cannot write to the Program Files directory (by default). There might be some way to mess with this (google) but in genegal you cannot run mIRC with an mirc.ini inside that path. This is why mIRC changed its behaviour in 6.3+ to properly use the Application Data directory. Move the mIRC folders outside the program files directory and try again. Ideally, if you're trying to store user specific settings for an application they should live outside \program files\ anyway, because that is shared user space. You might be the only user on your machine- but this is how vista (and all OS's these days) works. I have my mIRC in the root of my user folder.
