Crashing will not stop

We need more information to be able to diagnose your problem, such as:

System specifications
When does it crash?
Have you installed any new content recently?
Have you set Trainz to run as administrator?

Dude, you gotta be more specific.

window 7 w/6gb pf ram

We need more specs on your computer if you want some help. Graphics card specs, Memory, Ram, hard drive disk space.

not sure aon the admin thing - how do you do this

You need to run your computer under an administrator account. Trainz needs to use certain files on your computer to run which are only available to someone who is running under an administrator account. If this is a parent, for example, then ask them to log you on to their user.

crashes as your are building - looks like its going to save

Your talking about the Surveyor tool, correct?
 
joesmetts, I have a utility that can sort out the system specifications side, and my tutorial website covers how to run a program as administrator.

If you are not sure how to run my utility, see the Blogs page for an entry entitled 'Tutorial: How to use my PC Information Application'.

OK. I can see the problem.

Intel graphics cards are not powerful enough for Trainz, and quite often do not have the required OpenGL support.

Shane
 
ok I thought maybe that was the issue, since when in Surveyor the screen goes lsk and you do not see the layout until saved.
what do you recommend in grafics cards
Thank u very mich
