Hi, I am new to sail online and have just downloaded the client hoping to compete in the timed race to St. Petersburg. I have followed the quckstart instructions. When trying to start the client I get a box up that says that file gdiplus.dll cannot be found in the specified path , not being the most computer literate bloke on the block...help please!!!

No, if there's no warnings you should be all fine. I will try to distribute the missing dll with the next version of sailonline, so keep an eye out for beta 8!
