HELP me please. I want to get mIRC but when i go to site it says 30 day free trial. Then you have to pay US$20.00 to continue using it. But when i ask people they say it is free

Im confused and waiting to get mIRC working. Plz help me out.
http://www.mirc.com/ <<----- that is the mIRC site where i got this info on the 30 day free trial. i think u have to go to the downloads section to view that info.[/color]

you just hit continue everytime you load it up. so it IS free

Osiris · « **Reply #2 on:** July 11, 2007, 10:03:23 PM »

Oh! so you are saying that you download the free 30 day trial that really isnt 30 days. you just keep pressing continue?

I think everyone clicks "continue". Did anybody buy it?

They wouldn't have made that if it's not free.

Have you uninstalled the previous installation completely?

This is my first time with irc so i just download the 6.something versing. then when i went to download the version of IRC for windows 3.1 to see if that would help i couldn't install that one either

and u have to have IRC to join some clans and w/e so i wanna get it

jitspoe · « **Reply #10 on:** July 12, 2007, 02:45:40 PM »

You don't want the version for windows 3.1. Why are you trying to install it again? Don't you already have it installed?

There are enough people that buy a full version so that they can keep it "free" for the advanced users...

no i dont have the 3.1 version installed. well i dont think i do at least. but when i tryed to install the newer version of IRC it said it couldnt find the backup files. that why i tried to install 3.1 which didnt work

jitspoe · « **Reply #13 on:** July 12, 2007, 07:27:17 PM »

Don't tell it to back up files. That's only if you want to save a backup of a previous version that you've installed, which you haven't.

Osiris · « **Reply #14 on:** July 13, 2007, 07:11:48 AM »

i did try that i unlicked the box and went to install it. this time none of the files could be written

Cobo · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2007, 08:45:38 AM »

Well, you could always try another IRC client.

Osiris · « **Reply #16 on:** July 13, 2007, 08:58:37 AM »

lol whast that ahaha (ima newbie)

Osiris · « **Reply #17 on:** July 13, 2007, 10:25:03 AM »

i re-downloaded mIRC and it didn't work again. Even when i unclicked the backup files box. When i do that, just about all of the files cannot be written or opened. Then when i just ignore that file (because retry never works) i cant open IRC.

this is really pissing me off and i wanna get it working

Osiris · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2007, 11:06:51 AM »

Oh also. becasue my IRC doesnt work couldnt someone send me an installed version or sumthin like that so i can use it

paintballdude89@hotmail.com THANKS

mIRC is an IRC client, there are many other free IRC clients out there.

Also, use the modify button to edit your posts.
