Problem With TS2009

[Kenb1d]

I bought TS2009 last year, having fun with it every now & then.
Just about a month or so ago, I noticed there were patches for certain versions (builds).
I finally got a chance to download the patch, after which I played the game maybe once or twice.
Now, every time I try to load the game, it asks for my CD serial # and to enter my user name & password. Then it leads me to the Start page & tells me that the database needs repair (???) Never did find a "repair" icon in the list. I think maybe the files are corrupted or missing somehow since the patch was installed.
If I skip over the "database repair" part it goes into the "sessions page". If I pick out a route, it never loads, it just sits there with the blue line loading.
I've tried reloading the program a couple of times to no avail.
I'm not a real computer genius, I need simple, yet thorough direction, or a new download of the complete game.

Where abouts did you get it from?

Also, if you are running Windows Vista/7, you must run Trainz as administrator.

TS2009, right here on Auran's site; also using Windows XP.

You should be able to re-download the game from your Order History page in your profile.

As for the OS side of things, what service pack are you running? (Also, make sure you are running Trainz from an administrator account)

I'll take a look for it, thanks.

You need to enter the Serial and Login/password under 'options' and save it. You can 'repair the database' by loading 'Content Manager' and running the database repair from there.
