When I click on "Continue" on the new "About mIRC" window, a loading throbber shows up and then the application hangs. This started happening after the update. I have to force quit it. I have tried to do a complete reinstall, problem is still there. OS is Win 7. What should I do? Thanks for any help. Last edited by jauco; 26/06/14 10:10 PM.

If you can please type the following into the status window in mIRC: Quote: //echo -a $os $version $beta $md5($mircexe,2) $file($mircexe).sig $alias(0) $script(0) $dll(0) $com(0) and post your results here, this will help in tracking down the issue. Please also try the following: Install a clean copy of mIRC into a new, empty folder in your Windows Documents folder using the "portable" option in the installer. If you run mIRC from this folder, do you see the same issue? Are you using anti-virus/security software? If you disable and close it down completely and then run mIRC, do you see the same issue?

I tried turning off Anti-Virus, and as many other programs as I could, but didn't seem to have any affect. The problem doesn't happen every time, but most of the time for me (80%?).

However, more testing would really help. I will contact you directly with a link to the beta so that you can try it out.
