3.) As soon as you run it a registration popup box will open, don’t worry about it and just close it. You should now be at mIRC options under Connect and it should be asking for Full Name, Email Address, Nickname, and Alternative. It doesn’t matter what you put for Full Name or Email Address but your Nickname will be the name that people see you as in chat channels. Pick an Alternative in case the nickname you want is taken.
