I don't know if it's just me, but after upgrading to v7.56 mirc crashes with no message when you hit "continue" in the about window.
On windows 10:

Thanks for your bug report. I have not been able to reproduce this issue yet.

Are you using anti-virus software? If so, which anti-virus software is it? If you disable it, or add an exception for mIRC, does it resolve the issue?

If you install a clean copy of mIRC to an empty folder in your Windows Documents folder, using the "portable" option in the installer, with no scripts or addons, and then test this copy of mIRC, do you see the same issue?

I use windows' own av, defender. I tried turning it off, same result. Also with a portable installation, same result.

I actually went back a few mirc versions and I still get it, so I guess it's something that came from a windows update? I can say for sure how long ago was the last time I checked the about page.

If it helps, windows' event journal had two logs each time it crashes:

Thanks for the logs. If it is affecting older versions of mIRC as well, this may indicate an issue with something else on your system.

I am also using Windows 10 and have the same d3d10warp.dll 10.0.18362.1 on my system. That said, mIRC does not use d3d10warp.dll and, as far as I know, does not load any DLLs that use it.

Are you running many other applications in the background? If you exit as many other applications as you can, and then run mIRC, do you still see the same issue?

Update: I may have found a potential cause of this issue, however I have not been able able to reproduce it. I am going to make a change to the next beta version to see if it resolves the issue for you.

I have made changes in the latest beta that affect how the about dialog handles a number of events after the continue button is pressed.

This has the potential to either 1) resolve your issue, or 2) make the issue worse for everyone else :-]

Tested here under Windows 10 and XP and am unable to reproduce any issues with either the beta or previous versions.

Please let me know how it works out for you.

WARP usually means the thing is running the software rasterizer; either because the application is flagged to run as such (which is usually a developer-only option by running dxcpl.exe and entering it in a list) or because no display adapter is active, so the whole system is running using the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

Have you tried any of those to see if you can reproduce the crash?

Also @OP: are your GPU drivers up2date and working?

Sadly, it still crashes:

I use a 7-year old laptop. It has both Intel HD4000 (last updated in may) and Nvidia Geoforce GTX 675M which is sadly no longer supported and last updated last year. I tried running mIRC on both and it still crashes.

Thanks for the feedback.

I am afraid I am not sure what else to suggest. I tested mIRC on seven different Windows XP, 8.1, and 10 installations and could not reproduce the issue.

If I Google this issue, there are quite a few similar reports such as here, here, here, here, and here. Unfortunately, there do not seem to be any obvious solutions, eg. it could be due to a corrupted installation of DirectX, in which case you could run "dxdiag" to see if any errors are reported and/or reinstall DirectX or your graphics drivers. You could try shutting down all background applications first eg. MSI Afterburner, since they might be interferring. Some reports indicate that disabling anti-virus software resolved the issue. You could also try running the System File Checker tool.

If you do find a solution, please let us know.

Thanks for all the help, but I think I’ll leave it at that.

I did reinstall both the intel and nvidia cards, but that wasn’t it. I did a sfc check and the log says d3d10warp hash does not match the windows update one, with sfc not being able to fix it. But MS doesn’t not allow reinstalling dx12, since it’s merged into w10, so other than reinstalling w10, there’s no fix for me. And that doesn’t even guarantee it would fix the issue.

Since my issue is only about closing the about window (which I went to for the silly animations), I’ll wait it out and recheck in a couple of months.

Thanks again.

FWIW: you can close the first screen, without continuing to the second, by pressing Esc.
