I started to play Trainz 12 but when I start it goes into a small window and says "Trainz has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I am using windows vista home premium.Please help me!
 
Try changing it from DirectX to OpenGL (or vice versa). My old computer used to play up for this too a few years ago and this did help. It may not in your case, just throwing out a suggestion :)

Also, on the Start screen, click Options and open the Display tab. Make sure there's a tick in the Full Screen box and that the Display Resolution is the same as the native resolution for your monitor.
 
it seemed to work but now i can't get to the menu.It just says that "The procedure entry point."And the log says this
"Begin:? 0:00.5 : DataManager::RegisterTrainzBumpVertexType> Unable to load 'm.tbumpcoltex'
? 0:00.5 : DataManager::RegisterTrainzBumpVertexType> Unable to load 'm.tbumpglosscol'

End."
 
This is also what the jetlog says.

Welcome to the Trainz forums and to Trainz!

In order for us to help you, please post your system specifications as that can determine if your system is even capable of running Trainz at all. This is particularly true regarding video cards. If you are using the built-in Intel video, then you are basically out of luck. This type of video is found on most laptops and many lesser-powerful desktops.

Also, in order to receive full support from the community and access to the Download Station (DLS), product updates, and other information, you need to register your program. This is done in two places. First login to your Planet Auran account using your current login name and password. You can then choose the proper product and register it. Once you are registered there, you will now have the product listed under your username here on the forums. The other location is within the launcher and you should have done that already when you installed the program.

If you have problems registering your software, please contact the helpdesk using the link above in the forums. Someone on the helpdesk will assist you. In the event that you already have an account, and you have registered your program under your new username, you can merge your accounts together (one-time-only) by contacting the helpdesk.

What kind of video card do you have?

There's your problem. Older Intel graphics cards will not work properly at all with later versions of Trainz. However, you may be able to use it if you change the rendering mode in Launcher > Options > Display from OpenGL to DirectX.

P.S. As stated above, you need to register your serial number with N3V.
 
It's usually the first window that appears when you use the shortcut to open Trainz, usually with a Start button and other buttons.
