Occasionally the registry values for AE get corrupt, and menus disappear etc.

Searching on "the other side" I have come across a suggestion to delete the AE_Normal_View value, presumably from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\1.0\HWRenderer]

I haven't done this myself, so I suggest you export that branch first at least; and better still back up the whole registry before proceding (scanreg in win98, system restore - create backup in ME or XP)

Hope this helps

you lose road traffic if you turn down the world objects density in the graphics options, have you been tweaking things ? have you changed video card or drivers ?

I'm sure he meant installing. At least I hope he did.

Would be some download, almost cheaper to buy the CD's !

Installing was correct.....

So you've tried the registry tweaks - you've tried reinstalling?

Next step is to uninstall - go into regedit and remove any remaining entries, then reinstall. And try the activity editor before installing any third-party stock, route or add-on.

Which route's have you tried to use the Take other Exit feature, I lost it after install, but upon one try after about 10-25 attempts I tried a selection of Different point's and got it to work again.

I do not know what happened or what solved it. That was on my old computer, A PII 400, 128Mb Ram, It may have been the speed.
