    Problem With MIRC in XP

    hi,
    Recently I tried installing MIRC on a test XP system at our office (Windows XP SP2 machine). but my mirc is not working i just wonder why?the error message comes "This is a compressed executable file. The file must be decompressed before it can be loaded."when i try to start it. Any help will be extremely appreciated.

    The log file does not indicate which XML file caused the problem. As a guess, I'd say it was probably Tomcat/conf/server.xml. You could open that file with NotePad or TextPad and see what encoding is specified in the XML declaration at the top. If it is cp1252, change it to ISO-8859-1, save the file, and try to start Tomcat again.

    I could be wrong but i think MIRC 5.9 was for 32bit systems, 9X etc Its possible you need an earlier version, or alternatively try PIRCH.

    hi,
    The only thing that i can think of when that happens its because it doesnt like the file type while processing sometimes. maybe you should uninstall an reinstall. if that doesnt work you might have a virus. those tend to make your computer act funny. use Spybot or Ccleaner. Or i suggest both
