When in vroc, if you can chat, ask for help. If the vroc screen doesnt show gpl 1.2.0.1 at the bottom, it means the winvroc path is not correctly pointing to gpl. If you didnt already, change the address in vroc.ini to 209.53.20.177 And make sure you highlight a race before trying to join.

Thanks for the reply > When in vroc, if you can chat, ask for help. Tried there first but no luck. If the vroc screen doesn't Screen does show GPL 1.2.0.1 If you didn't already, change the address in Tried but no change And make sure you highlight a race before Makes no difference. The inspect button becomes available but the Join and Host buttons still gray. Very weird. Computer: 500 PIII; 128 megs; SBLive; VooDoo 3 3000 Thanks again

I have just tried to go online to race GPL and cannot join or host a race. I have GPL 1.2.0.1 and Win VROC 2.1.0.0. I have patched the Win VROC with the .ini file and am able to see all races with all colors. The buttons on the top for Join and Host are grayed out, the Inspect button is available. Have checked all FAQ's I can find but no mention of this problem. Any help appreciated. I just got a funny feeling that this might be OT if so apologies and can someone direct me to appropriate NG Larry

Just for the heckofit, go to Options and reselect GPL via the "Browse" button. Also, you didn't do a partial install of GPL did you? There are issues with that. Regards, Brett C. Cammack That's Racing! Motorsports Pompano Beach, FL

If its a recent install of GPL, do you have a driver created?

you have to manually set the GPL directory in the VROC setup...eventhough it appears to be correct in the first instance... "Jeff Vincent" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

No, this is the right group. Make sure you have the correct path set for GPL. If WINVroc doesn't know where it is, it won't give you the option to start.
