argv0,

That's exactly it, when I tried using version 7.1, mIRC basically froze once I got into the program and then that caused my internet to stop working. Hence then I had to constantly reboot my computer every time I tried to open mIRC. What I mean by "it" is basically I couldn't get into mIRC.."it" is just the program mIRC.

I don't think I have any special scripts installed in 6.35 besides the basics. I tried installing a clean 7.1 and that didn't work. I'm going to try what you said about installing 7.1 to a completely different directory. But even then, I still can't use my 6.35 ini and the same thing will happen all over again.
