hi
i have strange characters in status sometimes (random !) and after using sometimes the list command.
see this:
http://postimage.org/image/4a1ussru3/mirc 7.29 in windows 7 x64 ultimate.
i've tried to reinstall mirc ,to reset it and various versions ,also old version, but the problem is not resolved.
i don't have viruses
Do you have any scripts loaded? try type /remote off and see if it helps, to turn remote on again /remote on .
That looks like the server may be sending text in a codepage instead of Unicode and mIRC 7.x won't display that correctly. A script could also cause that if it's trying to encode or decode something.
sparta ok now i'm trying that.
Riamus2 so what i can do? thank you.
If it's a code page issue, you'll have to use mIRC 6.35 until/if the network upgrades to use Unicode. Letting them know that you support moving to Unicode may help to push them toward that option as knowing that people want a change is a good reason to provide that change.
If it's a script, you can stop using the script or find and change whatever part is causing the problem.
Neither. Maybe a virus/trojan. Now kaspersky 2013 is scanning files.... Some hours needed.
I have those strange characters also in mirc 6.17 without additional scripts, and also in xchat and kvirc.
And those characters in mirc were increasing when i went on beppegrillo dot it site with internet explorer 9 browser.
Many clones popups browser windows were coming, and a pc restart was needed.
or a malware/spyware! now i'm testing.
ok problem resolved, after the deletion of some MALWARE SPYWARE viruses trojans, there are no longer those messages.
