Hi there!

When you start mIRC the About window will come up, if you have not registered mIRC. If your 30 day trial period is up, the red bar will be flashing in the About dialog to inform you that you should now register.

Once you click 'Continue' you can then connect to a server. Until you have done this you cannot connect.

When you connect a server, the About dialog should not be popping up. There are two other things that might popup however. The mIRC Options dialog may also popup when you start mIRC, to disable this, go to:

ALT+O > Connect > Options - Uncheck the box saying "Popup connect dialog on startup"

You may also find the channel favourites folder pops up after you connect. At the bottom of the favourites folder dialog is a little check box saying "Pop up favorites on connect" - UNcheck this box, and in future it will not popup.

If you are getting any other "about" window then it must be a script of some sort. Try typing /remote off before you connect, or removing the script and using mIRC again.

Hope this helps & happy chattin' smile

Regards,
