: When I select a game it keeps taking me back to the selection screen...Ive done just about everything I can think of in the config files...?

Here's one more thing to try. Instead of running glaunch.exe, run "_gl32.exe 0xdead 0xbeef" from an MS-DOS prompt. This will run GL, but when you select a game, it wil quit right away instead of trying to run it. When GL quits, take a look at the runit.bat file. Hopefully you will see where something is not configured correctly, usually a directory typo or something.

I am working a better way to debug this kind of problem as it is the most common problem reported. This 0xdead 0xbeef trick is a bad hack that I want to get rid of, but for now, it works. :)
