Gettin MIRC crash after MSN loggin on.

[Gank]

Hai everyone and thanks for it i'm gettin a mirc crash after everything loaded.

I got everything installed etc..

I got WINDOWS SP3 PRO.

Any chance on gettin this error fixed? thanks;)

Try unticking "sort by group" and "show offline contacts" in the control panel (/msncontrol).

I'm not sure why this happens. Do any of your group names have unusual characters in?

Thanks for this fast answer mate.

I did but i'm keep gettin this error.

I just tryed from an another adress and it work cool. But for my main adress it's not... After loading the contacts list i'm gettin my irc crash.

Yeah some of my contacts using some MSN name skins with some colors right ,)

[andyc]

Would you be able to give me the exact names of your contact groups?

You can access these by typing:

Code: Select all

//run notepad $shortfn($scriptdir $+ msn\groups.grp)

I can then fix the script so that funny characters don't lock it up.

Thanks mate...

Where do i have to type this?

Thanks again mate.

[andyc]

Just into anywhere in mIRC, the status window will be fine.

Alright i did that on mirc , thats opened a file with : .grp
Individuals.grp on it.

But still gettin the same error, mirc is crashing everytime i'm trying to log on my msn.

[andyc]

OK - there must be a funny character in one of your groups, the script isn't even getting as far as logging the name.

Can you confirm if any of your group names contain any of the following characters?

\ / : * ? " < > |

[Gank]

Many of my contact using COLORED name with some caractère like that yep.

[andyc]

OK - I'll have to edit the script so that these characters don't affect it anymore, could be a bit tricky mind!

A temporary workaround is to not sort contacts by group. I'll let you know when I have the problem fixed.
