well i checked the firewall and everything that might be blocking it and it still doesn't run, today i reinstalled my windows once more and it ran perfectly for a couple of hours then i rebooted my PC and when i tried to start mIRC windows explorer gave me an error and then after that mIRC stopped working again, still no error message and it still doesn't run whatsoever from the exe in the folder nor the shortcut, might it be caused by a bad sector on my hard disk, cuz my HD is pretty f*cked now, the first sector is bad, which means most of my information is randomly getting tossed around laugh
