I use my pop-ups a lot and after a while they wear out and stop appearing when I right click names in the nick list. Also, a lot of other programs on my system stop showing dialogs and may even stop running all together. I am running Windows XP Home Edition. Anyone else having this problem?

Does everthing work fine once you reboot?

Do you have an anti virus detector running? -- maybe it's a virus?

Perhaps your system is low on resources (Press CTRL ALT DEL to bring up the Task Manager to see your memory usage).

Fortunately I don't have to reboot every time that happens. I just close the effectef mIRC and everything starts working again. No, its not a virus and my system resources are fine. This error has become more and more annoying everyday. It does it on other computers as well.

This is a prime sign, that the script you are using, is slowly eating more Memory, each time it is run.

This could be, that each time you right click, the script adds a new variable, or even in one of the aliases run, after clicking an item in the popup.

Hash tables, variables and network sockets can all be a cause.

An example. Downloading a file, into variables or hash tables, using a socket, and forgetting to cleanup the data afterwards. Simply doing this multiple times, would eat the memory.
