Anyone have any idea of the cause? I turned off the chat - at least a workaround ... Lio

Hi Folks, Anyone know why sometimes when I go back into VROC after a race I get a complete hangup with the lights on my connection on in the system tray. Someone mentioned that putting it into verbose mode would help, but it doesnt seem to. Anyone have any idea of the cause? Thanks for the help Ash

Happens to me too, I noticed that if I am moving my mouse while the embossed vroc banner is up I will lock up. I amke sure my hands are off until it fully loads. -- Kevin Anderson [email hidden] --------------------------------------------------- "Ashley McConnell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8ndose$h6f$[email hidden]... > Hi Folks, > > Anyone know why sometimes when I go back into VROC after a race I get a > complete hangup with the lights on my connection on in the system tray. > Someone mentioned that putting it into verbose mode would help, but it > doesnt seem to.

As others have mentioned, there seems to be a connection with chat, so turn it off before entering a race or shutting down vroc, so that it's not running when you go back into vroc. I have also noticed many lockups seem to be related to mouse movement. I have developed the habit of lifting the mouse off the pad, to deactivate the ball, before clicking on anything in vroc. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

I've actually had a lockup or two shutting down chat.

Some people have reported that switching WinVROC chat to Verbose mode helps reduce or eliminate the hangs. To do this, either click on the rightmost icon over the WinVROC chat, or hit Ctl-Z. Alison On Wed, 16 Aug 2000 15:52:25 GMT, [email hidden] (Don Scurlock) wrote:
