Hi, I tried it the same way i did with f6 gui, this does not work. But when you have a look on the menues, you see the difference, so try following: Start 2nd PC with ctrl+alt+j, load auto232driver, then on the next window autoplayer click on master, so you will have no (v) before the word master - this pc is now slave. Now start 1. pc same way but with (v) in master, no (v) in only this game. Now wait a few seconds, and the game will start. It works now as in shredder5 or shredderclassic gui. when the (v) in only this game ist gray (two clicks) this is the way to wait for the second pc. When you do this, you can also start 2nd pc as master and the game starts too (but only one game now). Hope this helps :-)) Werner On December 28, 2001 at 23:29:29, Christopher A.
