Ok i recently bought a new PC, came with vista, nopt as bad as people say once you turn the useless junk off and pointless crap so it dont hog a gig of RAM just to run

TO THE POINT!...

Recently installed mIRC and went to load one of my scripts, alas! script not found in "C:\User\Roaming..." blah blah blah.... now unless there is a way to make mIRC or vista use C:\Program Files\mIRC i have to rewrite many portians of my script. How can this be done? is it possible?

Thank You in advance for anyhelp

If you had written your script with $mircdir in mind, there wouldn't be any problems. $mircdir will help you in the long run, especially when used in conjunction with $qt, which wraps the text with quotations.

Type /help $mircdir and /help $qt within mIRC to learn more about them.

You can launch mIRC to use another path with the -r parameter.

-r<path>

Sets the data path where mIRC saves mirc.ini as well as other files and data. If -r is specified without a path, the path is set to that of the mIRC executable.

For example: "C:\Program Files\mIRC\mirc.exe" -r"C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\MyScriptFolder\"

Keep in mind, any programs set to use Program Files will be denied access, and will default to mIRC's default path: %APPDATA%\mIRC\.

It sounds like you've been screwing with UAC, and ended up turning it off, killing off filesystem virtualization.

Do you have UAC on or off? Based on what you've posted it sounds like you turned it off.

Turn it back on, and see what happens.

Well ignore me. I misread what you posted last night. (It was late.)

    • Get this 27-inch ASUS VA279QG 120Hz monitor for dirt-cheap

      Get this 27-inch ASUS VA279QG 120Hz monitor for dirt-cheap by Taras Buria If you are on a very tight budget but you still want to upgrade your monitor to something more exciting than a standard 60Hz office monitor, ASUS has a perfect deal for you. The VA279QG is currently available for as little as $109, and for this money, you get quite a lot of a monitor. The ASUS VA279QG is a big 27-inch IPS monitor with a classic FullHD resolution and a wide 178-degree viewing angle. It can operate with a refresh rate of 120Hz, which is more than enough for buttery-smooth gaming. And since the monitor is FullHD, you will be able to see high refresh rates in more games since your GPU will have to render fewer pixels at 120Hz. Besides, the monitor supports variable refresh rate (VRR), a feature that can further reduce stutters by dynamically adjusting the refresh rate to your FPS. Other display specs include a 1ms MPRT response time, 16.7 million colors, 99% sRGB coverage, and a typical brightness of 300 nits. It is also covered with an anti-glare coating to reduce reflections. Ports-wise, you get one DisplayPort 1.2, one HDMI 1.4, one VGA, and one headphone jack. There are also two 2W speakers, but set your expectation right—these are unlikely to blow your mind with high-quality audio. Finally, there is a VESA 100 mount and a cutout in the base, which lets you mount your phone, namecard, or other small items for extra convenience. 27-inch ASUS VA279QG 120Hz IPS Gaming Monitor - $109 | 22% off on Amazon US This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the Amazon US deals page here. Get Prime (SNAP), Prime Video, Audible Plus or Kindle / Music Unlimited. Free for 30 days.

    • It's been four years, and I still don't have a strong enough reason to upgrade to Windows 11

      lol See... one is only 100% when it's by itself. I live for exceptions to the rule... our talk point was in reference in comparing Vista (not SP1/2) release vs. 7. Any OS will run stable once enough work has been put into it... hell, even Windows 95 had six versions before she was finally complete(d)... just about, what, six or seven months before 98 became available?
