While i can understand your frustration, please understand that what you are reporting isnt a common issue or one that can be duplicated at will. The suggestions i made in my other post seem to have been at the root of the problem for the few others who have reported it. I'm not belittling or shrugging off your problem, but i have installed a lot of copies of mIRC on 3.11, win95, win98se,win2k without encountering what you describe. Ditto for countless other users on all operating systems. I've never had to uninstall an older version of mIRC before i could install another one. Altho i rarely overwrite old versions, i have on occasion without what you report occurring. I vaguely recall one time not being able to open something several mIRC versions ago but a reboot fixed it. was prolly due to 98's infamous builtin memory leak *growl*
A glance thru any
versions.txt shows that the author does all he can to fix anything thats broken. Before something can be fixed, the cause has to be found. Before you can find it, you have to be able to reproduce it.
And yes, everyone who helps here are volunteers (and hopefully have ALL registered their mIRC)
