I am running XP pro. Once I get the program install, I shouldnt need any more help, as I know this program quite well from previous uses.

Maybe something is wrong with the servers or something. shrugs But everything in the (mIRC help) board or mostly everything has been about installation issues.

But then again I've only done a clean install once. All the others were upgrades on top of the last. /me shrugs. Maybe Khaled can nail this problem in the next version.

I don't think I'll be on the forums (or mIRC) when the next version is released I'm moving to Canada May 28th. So I hope the next version is released before then hehe.
