Thanks for the bug report - the mIRC MDI display involves some complex coding, so that could be confusing the Vista voice recognition feature. Alternatively, it could be that the feature itself isn't taking account of MDI windows correctly.. Microsoft has generally preferred that applications move away from MDI to SDI and it may be that MDI is not being supported as fully in newer versions of Windows. I would actually love to make mIRC an SDI-only application but generally find MDI a little too useful :-) I'll look into this Vista-related issue for the next version.
