Windows: It doesn't start?? nothing happens!
If you start UnrealIRCd and nothing happens, you see nothing, then you are probably running UnrealIRCd as a service. This means you checked 'install as a service' during the installer. When UnrealIRCd is running as a service you won't see a graphical interface (GUI). The GUI can be quite useful, especially when you're setting up UnrealIRCd for the first time. That's why we don't recommend installing as a service and the option is called "install as a service (not for beginners!)".
