I can click on the refresh button, but nothing comes up on the server
window.
You can see the chat messages though, which means that there must be
a connection. I just don't understand it.
Any suggestions welcome...

No, we are both running the identical release of Windows 98.
4.10.2222 A
Thanks anyway.

It could have something to do with the SpyBoy bug in the most recent version.
(1.2 came out too quickly, I guess.) I can't race in GSB anymore, so I chat
there, then join races through vroc. I'll keep doing this until the fix is
out.

I mean it **NEVER** comes up. I mean, on my computer, sometimes you have to
wait a minute or so for the list to come up, but most times it's fairly
quick. But on my
friends computer it has NEVER come up. Also, when mine is waiting for the
list, it
says 'Requesting current race list from VROC' but it doesn't even say that
on his
computer.
We have identical versions of windows, GPL and GSB, and as far as I can
tell, they
are all setup in the same way.
Weird????

Anyway, with VROC2 it seemed that until the Refresh button came on full
time if I clicked the MOTD button no races showed and got a message
saying that no races were available, though some were. If I wait for
both buttons to show solidly before clicking MOTD, the current race list
comes up just fine. That usually takes upwards of 1-3 minutes, and
several cycles of the "loading races" message.
If I can get the IE5 problem cured (or just install NetScape as a sorry
workaround), I will try it with SpyBoy and see if the same problems
occur. Also will keep watching r.a.s. for other responses to your post.

Before you buy.
I had that same problem. Haven't been on GSB for months since I could
never se any races there.
But today I tried the new GSB2 beta. It didn't work again, just as it
didn't for you, but by mere coincident I went into options while I was
still online and checked that I got the GPL-folder right. It was
alright, but when I clicked OK, all of a sudden all the races popped
up!
Can't explain why (bug?), but it worked for me. Finally. Try it.

I have this problem with IE4 - which is up to date enough by the way -
in that I cannot access the Vroc racelist through my web browser without
my whole computer freezing. I'm only guessing here but it seems to stem
from the java applet, because when I restart and run Scandisk it finds
the same size data block in error - something like 143,000 bytes - and
when I've examined this data block it has the word "java" all the way
through it.
I can still race online through SpyBoy though so I've just stopped using
the Vroc web site to join races.
