I'm updating this thread, that I made a long time ago. Just in case anyone every came across it on google.com with the same problem.
For some reason, after some time. The problem reoccurred again. And then I just ignored it and didn't really care
But then when I turned my firewall off. And ran it, the short cut keys worked.
I figured out what the real problem was. I was blocking "global hook mirc.exe" with my firewall every time it starts up. Because I'm paranoid with my computer and just block random things I find suspicious. And coincidentally enough. The older versions don't use "global hook mirc.exe", so that's why it would work there. And then the shortcut keys would work with the newer versions now.
Is there a way to make shortcut keys still work while still blocking this? Because I do worry about key logging and stuff. Not sure what this is, and why older versions don't have it.
Is this a normal operation? Does it do it on fresh reinstall? I'm just not sure.
Full message is this:
Defense alert
"mirc.exe is trying to install global hook mirc.exe"
"A global hook is a windows feature which allows application such as media players, keyboard enhancement programs etc, to inject executable files (e.g. dll files) into other applications for various purposes. But this is also commonly exploited by malware programs for keylogging, screen capturing or controlling legitmate applications"
