Trainz Classic Freezes Up at Start Up

[Marklindb]

Brand new to computer gaming, moved oversea's and had to pack my model railroad into storage.

I just bought a computer that can run Trainz. Acer Aspire 5735 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz, 3 Gb Ram. I am using Windows XP (Dark Edition)

My problem is that when I start Trainz Classic 2006 I get through the little movie then go to load the game as "Driver" I get to the first route "Harlem Line"

Problem #1
All the fonts in the Route and Session are unreadable and blurry

I select the only route and the first session.

Problem #2

The game starts loading and a 2nd window opens to play a little movie again. At that point the whole game freezes up and I must do a Ctrl/Alt/Delete to End Process of the game.

I downloaded the latest patch but cannot install it as the Trainz.exe file that it looks for is not recognized in my C:/Program Files/Auran/TC/Bin/ folder.

Sorry your are confussed. Or maybe I am
I think you have trainz classics 1 or 2
I do not have this but I have most of the others...
I know on some of the computers I service the videos in trainz do not work
I just rename all *.avi files to *.av_ and this solves the problem... It is something to do with the newer versions on windows media player grabing the file what trainz wants to......
I would also check what screen size you are running in XP and set trainz to be the same.
