All you need to do is the following:

  • Download Process Explorer from Microsoft website. Run procexp.exe and accept license agreement by clicking Agree button.
  • Download Miranda NG debug symbols corresponding to your current Miranda version. Extract the symbols to any directory on your computer (Miranda main folder will do).
  • Point Process Explorer to the debug symbols using Options → Configure Symbols (Screen 1).
  • In Process Explorer pick up Miranda process, right-click it and select Properties… (Screen 2).
  • On Threads tab in the window that will pop up select the main thread. Under Windows 7 its name looks like miranda32[64].exe!wWinMain (Screen 3).
