Join button is always grayed out. And yes I have the path correct. Please end my misery -- Kevin Anderson [email hidden] ---------------------------------------------------

Ok I have read that if I changed the name of GPL path it will not work. I don't remember if I have it installed in the default location. C:\Seirra\Gpl Is this what everyone else has? or did I move it, its been so long since I first installed it. -- Kevin Anderson [email hidden] --------------------------------------------------- "Phil Lee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:cr1k5.8296$[email hidden]... > Kevin Anderson <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:aa1k5.2253$[email hidden]... > > Join button is always grayed out.

WinVROC displays the GPL version number at the bottom of the screen in a status bar. Another possibility is that you are trying to join a passworded race or a track you don't have. You can never join races with a red indicator next to them You can only join races with a blue indicator if you know the correct password. Amber races have pings which are too high. Green races are the ones to join. If a track has a - sign next to it it means you don't have it installed. I am of course assuming that you can see a race list. If you can't see any races listed, this means that you haven't downloaded the small patch file required to run WinVROC. You can get it here: http://www.vroc.net/html/common/winvroc-fix.htm If you are still having problems, log onto the GPL chat room by clicking on Chat and shout for help. Someone will be able to help you. Cheers Phil -- F1 GPL Handicap: +62.32 secs F2 GPL Handicap: +148.70 secs St Eldred's Cup: +10.37 secs http://www.youpies.co.uk

Hi Kevin Even though the path was showing set correctly on my installation. I had to manualy point it there to get it to work. Use the Browse walk the path about and then back to where you can see your gpl.exe file. Keep trying it is worth the hassle.
