Somehow I keep ending up with the wrong version of TRS2006, it has the same TGV train on the box, but in red instead of the ligther blueish shades of our Australian Version of TRS, and has a UK flag on the back of it... I would have thought all copies of TRS were the same, and run as well as the Australian Version, but I have gone through two copies of it so far, the first one was damaged by a ring of mess around the outer rim, meaning that after three or four or half a dozen uses it was no good and had to be tossed out, the second one became damaged or corupted, and it had to tossed out.
Note that the UK version is called Railway Simulator and The Australian and American copy would be Railroad Simulator...
I tried to make a disk image of it so that I could use trainz without having to have the TRS 2006 disk in the drive to use it, like with the old TRS 2004, where you could use it without the disk in the drive, It seems to me that you can't with TRS 2006.
While I was making a backup copy of TRS 2006, Vista Really Crashed on me and sent the computer into repair mode, after which it came back to normal again, and I re-installed TRS again, and it failed to re-install half way through the install... Chances are, I may have a pirated version of TRS that I had bought from my local newsagency... One good thing about ordering your copy from Auran, is that you know you are going to get a genuine copy.
I wanted to make a disk image of TRS 20006, so that if I take my laptop away with me, I don't need to have the DVD copy... I can run it from the computer, and have something else in the DVD drive.
TRS2004 did run from your computer and there was no need to have the TRS disk in your drive to run it, what has happened with TRS 2006?...
If I can't make a disk image, I want to at least be able to make a back up copy to take with me if I go on holidays anad want to take the laptop with me.
If I can make a disk image, what directory in Windows do I put it, so that I can run TRS without having to have the TRS disk in the drive all the time?... There are freeware programs out there that enable you to make a disk image of things that you want to preserve on your hard drive so that you don't have to have the native disk in your drive, I have a back up/disk image facility on the Toshiba. I tried it once and put a disk image on there and I still had to put the TRS disk in to use TRS...How do I get around this annoying problem with TRS 2006?...
