    Need help....

    Ok, I have been trying to get on the sierra servers for a while now and for some reason I can't?

    When it gets to the "Checking your versions" screen it times out with a WS_Timeout. After that it gives me this message (see attatched pic)

    When I go and check for updates it also gives me the "WS_Timeout" BS.

    I have not done anything to my game, it is the same as it always is.

    I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem getting on to the servers or is just sierra messed up?

    Thanks for any help.

    Just went on and had no issues. Have you changed something besides cars?

    Now I have gone in and did a disk clean-up, disk defrag and ran a virus scan, everything went smooth....went in and tried the game again, and still nothing?

    I even tried making a new user id and that wouldn't even work for me?!

    I haven't done anything to the game and haven't been on-line with it since last Weds. night. How could the game be no longer current, dang, haven't even had the thing for 6 months yet? Went to the papy site and there is not any newer verisions or patches availiable for download?

    Does anyboy have a clue what is going on or what else I could possibly try? I really need this problem fixed a.s.a.p.
    I have a league race tomorrow night and if this doesn't get straightened out by then, I am screwed!!

    Only thing I can think to help is did you delete ALL the files associated with 2003. When you uninstall the game it does leave a couple folders behind.

    Well, unfortunately the only other thing I can think of is someone somehow got ahold of your cd key.
