OK lets start with the obvious thing........next time you get this message in gamespy PLEASE check the box...then you wont get it any more(i think i did that 9 years ago havent seen it since)
Im lying ive had it on every pc ive installed gamespy on,so check the box and ignore for future reference.
This idea that you cannot play in a tourney cos you cant set a room.....forget it,you first ask your opponent to set the room and secondly if he cant set either then you ask the TD to set it for you...simple solution.
Re: firewall
yeah but there is no box to check on that window...

Re: firewall
Hugh the window you are refering to is the one when you want set a room ...yes I checked that box but the one I'm talking about comes up when I click on my GS ...before GS can strart a window comes up telling me my firewall is not set properly ...then I click the ok button on that window and only then GS starts up...there isn't any box on that window to click only an ok button...

# Find Gamespy Arcade in the Application Name column.
# Right-click Gamespy Arcade and select Allow Full Access.
people need to learn "its a game , and a game by definition can be either won or lost .
If you take away the ability to win or lose you are no longer playing a game and your time is not spent challenging your skill over another's instead your time is now worthless and wasted.
