Howdy all,
Ol Mac here and got a problem with Trainz. So without further adue, here's my story. I bought Trainz 2010 EE from fleabay. Downloaded it and it's working fine on my Win 7 PC. Ok so I go along and buy Trainz 2004 and downloaded it on my xp pc and works fine. So now I want to load the 2010 version on xp and it won't even recognize the disc. When I insert the disc, it keeps telling me to insert a disc. Now on the 2010 case it states it's for xp and up. Any other disc, works fine, so there's nothing wrong with the cd rom.
Ok so my next trick is, doing a copy from the win 7 hard drive to the xp hard drive and it will not let me in and run it. So I dumped it. Then I had a problem with 2004 on my xp and uninstalled it. Now before I reinstalled it, I tried again to install 2010 and it still don't recognize the disc. Ok to clear things up here about the 2010 disc, there's nothing wrong with it as we tried it on my wife's pc win 7 and it works fine. So now to tie up the bundle so to speak, here's my questions. Knowing that the 2010 disc's don't work for the xp, my next move would be, buy a 2010 download for the xp. Or maybe try a trial download to be safe. Now the big question here is: Can I run more than one Trainz on one computer? Or would there be a collision. All in all, it appears that the xp, doesn't want anything to do with 2010. By the way, both computers are high end jobs, meaning big time video cards and boatloads of memory and so on.
Well that my story and any help on y'alls part would be greatly appriciated.
Doug
