Problems with TS12 running

[elaine]

Hi All. Its probably been asked lots but I can not find the answer on here. I running windows 8 on a Toshiba Satellite Laptop, Its got a Intel core i7. 2.4GHz. 1TB. Its got a Nvidia GeForce 640GT Graphics GT640M and installed memory 8GB. I am running it as administrator but Im having problems with it crashing. The latest error I have is Nvidia Graphics card timed out and need to shut down. Any ideas [TABLE="width: 500"]

That would indicate serious issues with your graphics card - check if there are any later drivers available for it.

This is the error, my computer is only 1 month old. The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the Windows Time-Out limit and is unable to continue. The application must close. Error code: 7 Visit http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nvidia.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3007 for more information.

Last time I saw that error on here, the user had to either rollback or update their drivers.

Time to run trainzdiag.exe Located in the bin folder for TRS12.

Any chance of installing Windows 7?

Ran the Trainzdiag.exe and noticed something on there that said Test for multi monitor compatability.
Multiple monitors configured in nVidia DualView mode may cause a significant loss of performance.
Please use 'Single display performance mode' in nVidia Control Panel : Manage 3D Settings : Multi-Display settings. I set it up using single display and was on TS12 for about 4 hours last night on the S&C with trains running all over and it never crashed. Hopefully its sorted. Thanks for all your help
