There are many people here who run on Vista. I had a similar problem running TC3 on Windows 7 however the fact that Trainz "needed to close" was (in my case) due to an incomplete installation.

If you have not already done so, you may wish to copy this message into the 2009 and/or 2010 sections of this Forum.

Moin,

I´m also using TS 2009 and TS 2010 with Vista but without problems.
Make sure that all .exe files in the trainz folder(s), as Trainz, Connection Manager, CCP e.t.c are running in administrator mode.
Also you should ignore the error message for any time, don´t click it. Maybe Trainz sort the database and that, because it needs any time, looks for Vista as an error but it isn´t.

Trainz runs fine on Vista.
Your problem lies elsewhere.

We'd need a lot more information before anyone can help you.

I am not sure if this is related to your problem, but I was receiving the same message when I first installed TR2006 on my XP Pro machine. With much help and advice from this Forum, the source was narrowed down to the on board graphics chip not supporting Open GL together with insufficient memory. A stand alone Nvidia graphics card and 2GB of DDR2 memory cured the problem. Running Trainsdiag.exe pointed us in the right direction.

Good Luck, tomurban
