This may be a dumb question, but I'm reading through some older posts and it appears that to solve my larger issue, I need to create different starts within a race. I have tried this by selecting edit-race, then new start and then edit start. The default is all competitors, so I attempt to change this and click 'select competitors'. This is where all forward momentum stops. I can't do anything after this. I can't type anything, and all I get is an audible beep so to speak when ever I try to click the mouse anywhere. I can get back to 'normal' by hitting escape. How do you edit the starts to select competitors? I've rebooted and reinstalled, but it remains the same. I've also opened other .BLW files to see if I could edit those, but no luck. What am I doing wrong?
I just installed the latest version 2.02 build 2. I'm running Win XP.
thanks in advance for all help,
Keith

Sounds like there’s a hidden window, underneath your open, visible windows. There should be a Select competitors' window opening once you have hit the Select competitors’ button.
Try minimising all windows, or click Alt-tab until the window requiring action appears.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think you are on to something here Malcolm. I just tried to locate the open window as you suggested and I can't find it. It's almost like the window didn't quite open. When I do the Alt-tab, I can toggle between windows. Prior to clicking the select competitors tab, I can toggle between my browser and the sailwave 'edit start' window. After I click select competitors, the name on the sailwave window changes from 'edit start' to 'select competitors', but there is no new window visible. Again, it's as if the new window didn't open properly.
Any suggestions are appreciated. In the mean time, I will install sailwave on a different PC and note the behavior.

I installed Sailwave on a different PC and everything works fine. The new 'select competitors' window pops up and I'm able to continue. I tried it again on the old PC and still nothing, but at least I now know what to expect. Anyone have any ideas as to why that window won't open on my Lenovo T61 laptop? I've never seen anything like this.
