OMG you rule!

I've been fighting w/ a latest mirc + latest openssl problem lately.

mIRC wasn't able to locate SSL libraries even tho both .dll files were in /system32/ AND in /mirc/. In the end i had been running the latest installs (mIRC v6.32 & v6.33 and OpenSSL v0.9.8h) without any success.

After trying your trick, downgrade OpenSSL, it worked like a charm!

I'm running XP PRO 32 bits, fresh install btw.

Even tho pretty insignificant to some, your advise did the whole difference, thanks again!

a proud mIRC user.
