When I use mIRC in Windows XP Pro w/sp1 it crashes with a Windows error right after I connect to a server.

I get this error signatrure:
AppName: mirc.exe AppVer: 6.0.3.0 ModName: ws2_32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.0 Offset: 00008d72

Weird thing is, mIRC works in the background until I click on the error message Close button. (I disabled Windows "Error Reporting")

Anybody have any ideas??
I tried all the Windows compatability modes.. still no luck..

1st never install SP1 on XP, it's reported to cause strange and numerous problems.

mIRC is not running while the error message is there, it's stopped, but not yet closed.

My version of XP has Service Pack 1 integrated...
An yes, mIRC is running in the background while the error message is up.. If I move the error window to the side.. I can actually talk with people on a channel..
It closes when I close the error window.

Don't install SP1 on XP?
That's misinformation. It works very well on many pc's.
For example, no problems here at all.

sometimes it is possible to get a bad download from microsoft of the service pack or many upgrades ...... u can uninstal the updates and try reinstalling them to make certain thats not an issue .....

I FIXED my problem!!!

I saw the attached post and tried something mentioned there...
Options>Local Info> unchecked both boxes under "on connect, always get:"
Then I could connect without the error.. I then re-checked both boxes and it still works fine!!
