I used "X-Chat 2", but last time when I wanted to visit the #Nesvideos Channel it gave me this message:
Perl interface loaded You must have ActiveTCL installed in order to run Tcl scripts. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Tcl/ Make sure Tcl's bin directory is in your PATH. Winamp plugin loaded
I'm a noob in such things. And after I used that link I didn't know what to do. I re-installed X-Chat 2 and it gave me the same message. Should I get another chat program ? Thanks in advance

maybe you should read the error message? if you wish to use tcl scripts, you have a problem. They won't work unless you install the thing that url points at. If you don't know what a tcl script is, then you probably don't need them, and can safely ignore that warning.

The problem is that I don't know what to do. I clicked on that link, clicked on the left on "Download", "Free Download", then downloaded "AS Package" for windows. I don't know whether that what I do/did is right. This is why I'm asking for help here. After I installed that AS Package and started X-Chat 2 again it said:
Perl interface loaded Tcl plugin for XChat - Version 1.59 Copyright 2002-2005 Daniel P. Stasinski http://www.scriptkitties.com/tclplugin/ Tcl interface loaded Winamp pluging loaded
But I can't visit the Nesvideos Channel.

as said, you probably don't need tcl scripts anyway. If you cannot join the channel, there's a different reason. But since you didn't provide any additional information, I'll go consult my crystal ball..

I use X-Chat, and I never installed ActiveTCL, so I always get that same warning, but I still don't have any trouble joining #nesvideos. Your problem is elsewhere. Maybe you should describe exactly what you did in your attempt to enter #nesvideos, and what the result was.

I'm connected, apparently the problem was that I wasn't connected but didn't know that I had to connect in another way (with the menu).

When I tried to log in with both mIRC and X-chat 2 today, I got this:

Can you try irc.freenode.net instead of chat.freenode.net ?

Well do what it says: see http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml and use one the servers listed there. In mIRC, just type for example "/server heinlein.freenode.net".
