    Same here, WinXP, mIRC v6.03, no mIRC crashing..> That's not a typical mIRC
    response. Are you sure you haven't a invalid hex'd mIRC such as ircN or
    anything? If so, mIRC cannot guarantee the robustness of your executable. If
    you have any strange errors, try going to a help channel like #mIRCHelp on
    Efnet or a channel like #dmsetup if you believe you have a virus (I moderate
    in both channels). If you have an invalid mIRC executable, try reinstalling
    mIRC and not ircN (or whatever).
