I have done that but I still get message in red print that options may need to be set. I noticed on the 2003 download requirements that XP was listed.

hmmmm, then click on the options tab, and verify you've checked all the relevant boxes. what boxes do you have checked (or not checked), and which tournament(s) are you trying to join that you can't?

edit: everyone gets the message in red there may be options to be checked. the important thing is can you log into links, and see available tournaments?

edit #2: now someone called freefaller will probably show up and try to correct me, but don't pay any attention 'cause he's completly wrong. (8

Don't forget after you check the options you want you have to scroll down a bit and click the "Submit Query" button
I reserve the right to be completly wrong

Am trying to join sand and surf at pebble beach. Don't know where to click to join. When I click on the tourney title all I get is the leaderboard. I only have the 2001 option clicked cause I don't have 2003 yet. note; I have firefox installed but I set up with windows for golf. Can this be an issue?

Yes, That's quite important! I noticed that the "run this file" was only on the desktop so I installed it. Going to try now. My computer skills are limited at best! What are testing tournaments? When I go there I get a white blank screen.

That should do it. The file enables links to communicate with this site to show events

The testing tournaments tab is for when Mark is trying something new, which he currently isn't, that's why it's blank
