VROC help race not avail.

That awesome mod VROC has worked fine for me until....

I won my first race (actually 2) on sunday.
and installed patricks killer sounds.

Now when I choose the join button, i get
" xxxx's race no longer available" in every race.
I reinstalled everything.
Still the same.

Is it because I won a race?
Some kind of insidious worm installed by the programers
to keep the winners circle to themselves?
Or do I have something screwed up?

Usually this is caused by an incorrect path for GPL entered in the VROC
setup.  With the crumbling cookie problem VROC had, it is likely that
your GPL path is not exactly perfect in the VROC setup.

Thanks Michael,
Up and running.
I didn't have gping.exe in the gpl directory either.

This happened to me when I turned of cookies in Netscape. I just
turned them on again and it worked fine.

You could turn on the notification for cookies, but I can tell you
that it will become extremely irritating (had other words in my mind
but just kept myself from putting them here:)). Nowadays just about
every site uses cookies for ..err.. just about anything (phew, caught
myself just in time again).
But in cases like VROC it is good use of them, for the visitor/user.
