Need SCGT Help!!!!

Just reinstalled SCGT after a reformat and reinstall and now I can't get it to work. All other games work fine. When I get to the first screen where you must choose Career Mode, Career Mode , or Multiplayer the "OK" button will not work. The letters (OK) are blacked out. This sim worked fine even with all the add-ons before. How can I fix this? thanks, Paul

Maybe I should be more clear. Unless you create a new player (or select an existing one) on this screen, the options will remain greyed out. It sort of seems like you should choose career (or whatever) and then it would ask you to create a player or which player to use, but it doesn't work that way. ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Just why in the hell would I want to create a new player, it just might make the sim work!!!!!!! ;-) I'll bet that if I had read the manual I would have overlooked this simple fact also! Sometimes I'm a real dumb shit. Thanks for the help, Paul.

This is where you have to sweat the details. Little things like which version of DirectX are you running now that you have reformatted. same controllers? Your sound and video drivers may or may not need updating. Have you installed the 1.551 patch correctly? two files need to be placed not in the main folder but in..I beleive...the mas folder. Sorry I can't be more precise, I haven't seen this problem from SCGT users before.... One thing to remember tho...folks remember when users *** at them after trying to help.. Daxe may have advice that could help you in the future, I doubt he will be willing to pass it on tho... You wouldn't believe how many posts we have on RAS where seemingly desparate people overlook something as simple as choosing a driver, or creating a new one would be preferable. i.e. somebody in GPL downloaded a bunch of nifty sounds and couldn't get any of them to work, spent hours re-dloading, re-installing, re-patching etc. His problem? He had chosen an F2 driver instead of an F1. So if someone gives you what seems to be a "simple" even moronic bit of advice...try this... "Nope, already did that, thanks for the effort." here endeth the lesson dave henrie > Just reinstalled SCGT after a reformat and reinstall and now I can't get it > to work. All other games work fine.

It's so hard to tell sometimes, not being able to communicate inflection in BG posts and all that.

Well, I certainly thought I said thanks for the help and at the same time poked a little fun at myself for overlooking the obvious solution to my problem. Paul
