Hi,
There are several threads concerning various problems people have or are still having; installing Trainz.
For the past several weeks I have attempted various methods to install both TRS2004 & TS2010 onto my new machine, all methods having failed in some way.
Starting with TRS2004, it will install, however when clicking on "Launch Trainz" I get a critical error report & blank Jet (open gl) screen:-
I also have this when clicking directly on the .exe file to launch Trainz:-

This shows the query pointing to the DVD drive; "E:"
The main functions of the TRS2004 menu screen works fine, it's just when I try to actually fire up by clicking on the "launch.." button, I keep getting the above critiacl crash report with blank 'jet' screen.
:'(
I am running a GTX460 card on Windows 7 Pro, on a P7P55D-E Pro ASUS motherboard, with plenty of memory & several HDs.
I've tried installing to the "C:" drive (instead of a separate partition) but the same message comes up no matter what I try. Installing "As administrator", or even logged on as the actual PC administrator makes no difference.
=======================
TS2010 just takes forever to finally complete the install, although the actual installation itself happens in about 50 minutes or less.
I guess there's some problem with the database check/whatever process, when I first try to start it.
Once again, the main menu screen comes up ok (as with TRS2004 I can edit all settings, go to DLS etc etc, but the CMP does take forever).
Previously installed on XP (old PC) the CMP & surveyor came up ok & quite fast by comparison. Once again it makes no difference what I try during the installation, it's when trying to run the damn thing it won't let me!, or takes over 40 minutes to load just the maps to choose from, then to load surveyor (if it hasn't crashed by then) takes several more minutes; ie 20-30?.
So then. for both TRS2004 & TS2010, the main menu screens are ok, but actually getting the game to start (clicking on "launch"/whatever) fails miserably, which is the way I feel.:'confused:
Oh yes, all drivers are ok & up to date.
Any advice/suggestions/offers of assistance most humbly & graciously received.
Sigh.
