Forums Bug Reports Windows 7 x64 - mIRC Window disappears on Minimize

OS: Windows 7 x64

Version Info: 2f63a83968f9586fe4fb48134253619c 6.35 Vista 1 0 0
OpenSSL: 0.9.8k

Bug:
1. Open mIRC
2. Connect to channel with internal windows non-maximized
3. Minimize mIRC

Result:
mIRC window disappears from taskbar, but continues to run in the background, remaining connected to channels, haven't checked to see if logs continue to be generated or not... Have to hard-kill the task from task manager.

It didn't disappear. mIRC minimizes to tray by default if I recall, and by default Windows 7 will hide tray icons. Click the little arrow next to your tray to see everything and customize which icons get shown. Alternatively, don't minimize mIRC to tray (alt-o -> display -> options -> tray)

Ah, that explains it, my Vista install had gone through multiple versions with saved configs, which would explain why I had never seen it minimize to tray before... I can confirm that this is the case and that it functions normally after showing the tray icon.

One other minor bit, Windows complained about mIRC needing agentctl.dll which is no longer available, I'm not sure what this would effect, but the error hasn't recurred since [or windows is hiding it for me].

The latter has been reported. It goes away after you click through the dialog the first time. I'm sure Khaled will fix this more thoroughly for the next release.

Question: Did you try ALT+TAB ? and if yes the mIRC was there?
