N4/VROC problem

Funny problem - my PC won't let me join multiplayer games through either VROC (dumps me back to the VROC screen) or N4 (non-valid game version apparently - using UK version with latest patch). The fact that it is both suggests too me that it is some kind of Windows problem - have tried re-installing 98 with no joy. Found some Win32 worm virus on my computer which I got rid of prior to re-installation - anyone any ideas ? Ian PS using 56k modem and have tested several different connections/ISPs

Nothing to cross your fingers about, you can not use a modified N4.exe to play online "Ian Greenwood" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Have you tried to connect in GPL with a direct connect? Meaning, bypass VROC and enter the IP address in the game? Also(I have to ask, sorry), are you selecting games that have passwords? That would give you the same response you've described... Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett F1 hcp. +16.36...Monster +366.59...

Problem solved - using correct n4.exe and turning of FSAA on my geforce 2MX did the trick ! On Tue, 10 Jul 2001 22:49:11 GMT, "T S" <[email hidden]> wrote:
