that sounds a lot like whats roung with mine kinda mine workes but does not load aruan stuff at beginning tell auran help desk
 
That sounds like the intro movie is misbehaving, put this line into your trainzoptions file (found in the main folder of trainz)

-intro=disable

If that doesn't fix it we need your specs :)

Cheers David
 
i tryed put in the -intro=disable into the trainz options. but it didnt work. what do u mean that u need my spec
 
o ya. i no what ur talking about. everythings good except the video driver's age: 16 months year old update. and next to it says warning.

Start>run>dxdiag>Display What does it say?
Also go to your C:\Program Files\Auran\TRS2006\Bin folder and double-click TrainzDiag and Save the info. Once saved onto your Desktop double click the TrainzDiag.txt file and copy & paste the lines from the beginning up until

So have you gone to nVidia's website and downloaded the drivers for your videocard. If you don't know where to get them go to Nvidia's website click on Download Drivers>Download Drivers>Graphics Driver>GeForce and TNT2>Windows Xp/2000.

sorry i havent got an answer to your problems, just to say i had the same problem, i dont know how it started just seemed to break somehow, this was after upgrading to vista.

reinstalling never helped me either, guessed it was something in the registry, im afraid i only got sorted when i reinstalled vista, had to anyway due to other problems, i hope yous dont need to do the same.

cheers
