"Failed Loading Activity Headers"

Hello, earlier today, I copied into the relevant Activities folders several activities which I had installed previous to an MSTS re-install. On trying to run MSTS, I got the following error message... "Failed Loading Activity Headers".
I re-installed the activities from their original compressed files, but I STILL get the error message.

Does anybody have an idea of how to get around it, other than a full re-install of MSTS?

Thanks, Bob.

Bob,

The last time someone had this error message on here, the error was exactly as the message says - The .act files in question had faulty headers.

Remove all those activities you have just reinstalled and see if your error goes away.

You should never have to reinstall MSTS, I have had it ever since it was released, and apart from a hard-drive failure, I have never found any need to reinstall MSTS. Nothing you do should change the basic MSTS set-up, any errors you have will be in rolling-stock or routes you have downloaded or modified yourself. As soon as things no longer work, just delete the last thing you installed and all should be well.
