MSN Messenger for mIRC

What is it you're trying to do?

Version 3.63 was released today. The most significant update is that the /background errors should now have been eliminated. These were caused by a bug in mIRC 6.3, which the maker assures me is fixed for future mIRC versions. How does v3.63 work for you? I'm specifically interested in how it works ...

OK thanks.

I've tracked this down to a problem with the script and mIRC 6.3, and am fixing it now.

This seems to happen only on Vista computers, it could even be a bug in mIRC.

Can you tell me what it says when you type:

//echo -a $shortfn($scriptdir) $+ bg.jpg

Also, what does it say when you type:

//echo -a $version

Can you change line 121 to:
and let me know if that fixes it?

Many thanks.

The latest version (3.63) should work with Vista fine.

Can you change line 121 to:
and let me know if that fixes it?

Many thanks.

Many thanks.

Can you type:

and tell me what it says?

Many thanks.

What's happening here is that your computer isn't making a secure connection to the Passport server.

If disabling the firewall doesn't work then it won't be a firewall problem.

Are you using the latest version?

Do you get a pop up appear asking whether you want to accept the secure connection?

How would you connect to the MSN Messenger servers without using sockets?!

Have you tried downloading the latest version from this website?

Can you please type //echo -a $msnversion and tell me what it says.

Did you get a screen up asking if you wanted to connect to the secure server?

Please open msn.mrc and change line 297 from:

if ( $os == 2K ) || ( $os == XP ) {

to:

if ( $os == 2K ) || ( $os == XP ) || ( $os == Vista ) {

I'd be grateful if you could let me know if that works.

Does it work when you close and reopen the chat window?

Also, do you get a dialog appear about connecting to nexus.passport.com? You need to click accept on that dialog.
