Thanks for advice. It was a resource problem. Now fixed, and I'm
underway :-D

If there is no irq conflict (sharing) it may be like problem i had.
With an isp i used to use, i would periodically get very poor
connections. When i joined a race, i wouldnt see my mouse pointer at
all. Changing isp's solved it for me. Good luck.

modem. Aha, I thought, off to VROC at last! Well, no...
The connection is made OK, the welcome message comes up, and I can get
as far as the screen showing the programme cover and the amount of time
left in the session (which counts down as it should do). But I can't
get any further, because the mouse pointer is permanently stuck in the
corner of the screen - so I can't get to the green flag to click on it.
(And I don't think there's any form of keyboard override - I did try
using MouseKeys, but no luck.)
This problem *only* happens with VROC - offline, everything is fine.
What's going on, please, and how can I fix it?

Either try the bug fix .ini, David, or get used to it happening
occasionally. It does that sometimes, no one quite knows why...

Thanks... I think! <g>
I've tried the bug fix - no luck. And I wouldn't mind if it was only
occasionally - but I've tried about 20 times this evening, and it's
happened *every* time. I'll investigate Dave Henrie's suggestion
(below) regarding an IRQ conflict (though Windows doesn't report
anything wrong in device manager...).

Mouse and modem aren't sharing the same IRQ are they? Do a
"Start"->"Run" and enter msinfo32 as the program to run. It'll tell
you everything except what you had for lunch last Tuesday.
