Odd Invision/mIrc problem

**Toad** · 02-28-2006, 12:13 PM

My fserver is doinging random tiny freezes of the entire system periodically when mirc is open. If i close mirc, the problem goes away. Is is readily evident when i actually try to chat using that computer, and when watching videos, the videos always stop for a few seconds and then go again.

I had this problem before, but it was alot worse, and i think it was one of the causes of why i lost invision settings every time i got disconnected.

I just looked and i have 2 mirc.exe processes. one at 204k, and one at 12.6megs. Wtf??? I'm pretty sure i dont have any viruses, the computer is hardware firewalled and has Avast antivirus that is constantly updated.

Any ideas?

Try closing mirc, renaming the file and reloading it. See if you still have 2 processes with the new name.

I just closed Mirc, and the 200kb one is still open. lol. that's what i get for leaving xp running for weeks on end. and renaming mirc.exe to something else made mirc not even open.

re-opened mirc, and computer went back to running like shit

I think it might be @find, i think my server cached index is so massive, that a 600mhz comptuer actually gets bodded down searching the indexed directories. Am i too off in theory?

Since you are runnign xp, chuck ram in it.

Also could try shutting down the fserve and defraggin your drives...

a defrag of 3 200gig dreies would take days hehe

**VampYre** · 03-01-2006, 09:00 AM

Use diskkeeper and it will only take like 6 hours or so...

Reminds me, thats one thing I didn't installed after my last format...used to have it scheduled to defrag every 3 nights from 3am til 7am (when Im snoozin)

invision does store @find indexes in one or few files.. it doesn't search thru whole drive looking for results

I know of that, and now, for some odd reason, mirc crashed itself overnight. damn.
But i did download perfectdisk and it's defragging as i type this. so when it's done, i'll re-open mirc. maybe reboot too, who knows.

I just switched from Invision to UPP. It's so weird, after years of inision i have to try to use somehting completely differnt. Sorta ike my failed attemps to use linux. Soo, hold tight my leechers as i see if i can get it running smoothly.

What's UPP?

That's the client that I have been testing out. It's a pain to setup, but it doesn't have some of the issues that Invision does.

Cool, could you give me the addy to check it out? Or is it a personal build? Either way, I'd be willing to check it out if you'd be so kind.

The only thing that's buggin me, is that it doesnt auto-rejoin the chat room on the new beetle server. I'm pretty sure i have it set right, i did the same exact thing i did for EfNet, but no avail. It wouldnt really be a problem, except it closes the channel windows when i get disconnected.

And Asspin, u see a learn keys feature yet?

Nevermind. I got it working. Still no sign of a key learning feature tho.
