I'm not sure if this is the right place for this topic, but I hope so. Anyway I recently bought and installed Railworks, but something when I either enter a train, are on a loading screen or clicking on the camera angles, an error pops up and tell me that something bad has happened, and then Railworksproc stops working. I don't understand this since I could play Rail Simulator just fine. Heres my PC specs:
System: Windows Vista 32bit.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 @ 2.50GHz
RAM: 4.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 333MHz 5-5-5-15
Graphics: 512MB GeForce 9600 GT
Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio
Everything is up to date, and I was wondering if someone knows the what the problem is.
NOTE: When I try to use LogMate, my game lags alot so its almost impossible to play with it on.

Re: ''Something bad has happened in your program''?
It's a generic error when something RailWorks doesn't like causes it to stop working properly.
So it's hard to know what might be the specific cause of the errors.
That being said, there's a few general suggestions you might try:
* From Steam client, go to your Games/Library list, right-click on RailWorks, select Properties, Local-Files, then "Verify integrity of game cache". This will do a check to help ensure that you don't have any missing or corrupt files with your installation, and if so it will attempt to reacquire those files. You could also do a "Defrag of game cache" from there as well.
* Close or disable background programs before running RailWorks (such as anti-virus, messengers, etc..), as perhaps some other programs could be causing some conflicts.
* From the initial RailWorks launch-window, click on the Tools & Docs tab, then click on the "Clear Cache" button.
* Adjusting settings for your gaphics-card for use with RailWorks, as well as trying different setting from RailWorks in-game graphic-options may give better results.
* Defrag your hard drive(s).
* Do a full scan of your system for any viruses or malware that could be lurking.
Hope something of that helps. Good luck!
