I am trying to play two-player modem wc2, but the setup screen for the multiplayer game forbids me to start the game. I have connected, I am at the screen to setup the game, and it makes the start game button gray, so that I can't click it. I can talk to my friend but we can't start the game. I have tried everything on the screen - closing out most all players, changing scenarios, messing with options - no luck. Any Ideas? The dern button just stays gray.

How come just because someone can't figure out how to do something
they call it a bug? ;)
Seriously, if you are calling your friend then have him click the little
ruby colored button beside his name. This signs him into the game and the
start button will turn the correct color. If he calls you then you have to
click it beside your name.

Tell your friend to click the box next to his name. X means hes on. Thats really stupid that it doesn't default to on when you connect. I mean, hey, you answered the phone, so why the hell wouldn't you want to play! Eggnog

The person on the "answer" end, needs to check the red box by their name off, then select the scenarion and begin to play.
