OK. Several posts have mentioned trouble with activities and tsunpack. I've downloaded and installed the unofficial patch. Still no joy. Hmmmm...

I've got MSTS installed on my E drive. I did re-name the folder later. I have searched the registery and changed all pointers from old dir name to new dir name. Still no luck. Can anyone enlighten / help / shoot me please?

What's the 'E' drive?

I know 'A' is the floppy disc hole

'B' er pass!

'C' is the Hard Drive,

'D' in the DVD/CD ROM drive thingy,

but I know know about an 'E'

Sorry Bob. I have 2 hard drives, one partitioned into 2, so C, D and E are hard drives.

You have took a very unorthodox route and i'm afraid i am only going to point out the obvious. Going in and altering the registry is a brave/dum/dangerous thing to do and it seems to me that MSTS might have got its knickers in a twist somewhere. Best option to my way of thinking is to re-install and let MSTS go to the standard location it defaults to, and leave it there. This will make your life much easier later, besides- you should always have the C:\ drive as the biggest drive/partition on the pc as everything seems to prefer to live there in program files. I guess i will seem lame but it is such a great feeling when using auto installers of trains etc. etc., and without altering anything - they auto install - how cool is that???

Best Regards All

At the risk of going hideously off topic ...

In the early days of PCs, they had one or two floppies - A: and B: So when hard disks were invented they always started as C:

You can have drive letters all the way up to Z:

I tend to name my cd drives G and H to make room for more partitions on the hard drive, but now with XP you can go renaming things anyway. So my DVD Drive is D and cd writer is W, meaning second HD partition is E.

Hey, hey - new competition: who's got the most drive letters?

I have

A - floppy
C - main OS and apps hard drive
D - CDRW
E - second hard drive, mainly used for backups and downloads
F - an old slow 2gig drive that I use for temporary storage and assembling CD cutting jobs on
G - flash card reader (also use this to store image libraries on, a bit like a zip drive)

It's been a little while since I had a B drive (about 1996 IIRC)

Not that it really matters but I have:-

A - 3 1/2 floppy
C )
D ) Hard drives
E )
F - internal Zip 100
G - CDR
H - DVD
and
J - Zip 250 external

Well I've still got a 5¼" floppy as drive B in my second machine - occasionally comes in handy for reading old stuff!

Then C,D, and E for the hard disks, G and H for cd and writer!

A: 3.5 floppy
B: 3.5 floppy
C: Hard Drive
D: Hard Drive
E: CD DVD-ROM Drive
F: CD RW Drive
G: Removeable Disk
H: Removeable Disk
J: External Zip Drive

A - floppy
C - HD1
D - HD2
E - Digicam
F - CardReader
Q - CD1
R - CDRW

pales into insignificance at work where we have
A - floppy
C,D,E - HD
F - CD
N,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y - Network Drives
