I try to join a race via IP I get network error 10054. I got this error in
VROC too right after I joined a previous race. What could the problem be?

Could be the problem. I never had a problem with GPL and XP, but I didn't
use their firewall. As far as XP goes, it's much like ME. You need to turn
off the extra services to get it running smoothly with games.

Well, I haven't tried GPL multiplayer under Windows XP but Sports Car
GT multiplayer works fine, just like it did under Windows 98 SE. So
I'm not sure about the firewall idea. However, from what I've seen
SCGT uses DirectX ports and GPL uses its own (no?)
I haven't changed any settings and have GPL (Single Player), Sports
Car GT (XP actually fixed a problem), MechWarrior4, etc etc all work
fine.

I don't understand the attraction to XP at all, given the reviews on
the NET. Upgrade for a 30-40% resource drain...???

I went back to Me from XP specifically for games. I didn't lose much with
XP, a few frames and the color is lousy with GPL and D3D. The deciding
factor is that I can't use my PDPI card with XP. There's nothing wrong with
Me if you know what you're doing with a computer.
By the way, Win ME runs fine on an Athlon 750 and Celeron 633, so I have no
need for a costly P4 <G>

yep, that's the kicker to the whole thing - this ridiculous
re-registering idiocy.

This will almost certainly push me to Linux on my next machine / major
