Motorbreath M	No loaded scripts and no antivirus running... How do I remove mIRC completely after add/remove programs? What files and registry things do I need to remove?

You'll want to clear out the directory completely. You'll also want to completely clear out the installation directory (defaults to C:\Program Files\mIRC) in case you have it setup to load extra files from there. The registry settings should not be relevant to load times. What version are you attempting to load? What operating system?

Motorbreath M	I am using vista 32 bit, maybe deleting registry keys will help, please tell me where to delete.
