Firstly, apologies if this has already been posted.
I bought Trainz2006 yesterday, installed it and everything ran fine.
I bought a Virgin Voyager train pack from Railwaves this morning and imported it as instructed using the Content Management program. I double-clicked on the Trainz icon and the initial selection menu appeared allowing the launching of Trainz. I selected this and my computer appeared to hang. On closer investigation using Task Manager I found that 'Launcher.exe' was running at 100% CPU usage. I quit that and Trainz started, although I never made it to the main Trainz menu in the program (the computer hung with 100% CPU this time on Trainz.exe). I restarted the PC but that same problem. So I uninstalled Trainz, rebooted, reinstalled it, ran it, imported the Voyager trains again and it worked fine.
Earlier, I downloaded some trains from the Download station, imported them and now I have exactly the same problem as described above. Has anyone had this happen to them? Currently running XP Pro SP2 completely up to date, latest NVidia graphics drivers on an Athlon XP 64 3200 processor with 1GB Ram system. I have tried changing the setting from OpenGL to DirectX and still have the same problem (also have the latest DirectX installed too).
I've read on other threads on here that there is Service Pack 1 available for 2006 but where can I download it from? The official Trainz2006 site is so slow that Internet Explorer keeps timing out so I can't even get to the support page on there!
The little I have seen of the program is very impressive so I don't want to give up on this!
Any help appreciated! Thanks!
