[BONNIE]

on the 25/04/14 my copy of trainz 2010 came in the post i was so excited i poped disc 1 in loaded it and then disc 2 what a dissapointment this game is from trainz 2009 it is now the 29/04/14 and i am still unable to use the game at all nothing i download from the download centre apears in the game list in scenarios i go past and orange light and game ends telling me i past a light a red.now im wondering if it is worth buying trainz 2012 after spending a lot of money to buy a new pc with windows 7 instead of xp the game (2010) seams to have so many problems that i can not put right they should put in big letters across the box computer degree needed for this game
This is the 5th in the series of trainz games i have bought but by far the worst now stuck with a game i carn't even play and been talking with help desk everyday but nothing they seam to surgest works either.

since the 24/04/14 i have uninstalled and reinstalled 18 times but its still not working to buy a pc with better than the required needs for the game and now stuck with a game that wont play or download anything is a big dissapointment wishing i had stuck with xp computer and trainz 2009 even that wont work on windows 7.

can anyone tell me if trainz 2012 is any better before i pay out again

Bonnie, trainz 10 is an older version of trainz 12, so is not as slick. I have trainz 12 installed and although I am having problems with its far superior to ts9.

All versions of Trainz will operate correctly in Windows7, IF you take a few steps to "take control" of your Windows7 machine.
--Two biggest issues are "Administrator Priviledges", and "Security Settings".

I'm happily running TS2010 on three seperate Windows7 machines, and have had the TS2009 era Settle and Carlisle payware route installed as a stand alone installation with no issues.

Bonnie,

Sorry to hear You have problems.

Shane has an excellent set of tutorials that may help.

Briefly,
1. Turn your virus checker off before installing (and disconnect from the internet)
2. Lots of us change the installation folder from the default to "c:\trainz" (or similar), this reduces a number of problems.
3. Makes sure you run the setup programming as administrator ( insert disc, open with windows explorer, then right click on the setup.exe and choose "run as administrator").

I had 2010, 2012 and tc3 installed on the same PC - until the PC died!
If you can't see downloaded content in the game, check that it can be seen by the content manager.
