Not so long ago I read in a post that a member installed the latest nVidia Video card drivers and he had problems with it ever since.
About 3 days ago (after I had forgotten about that member) I downloaded those drivers and I got that proc error, I tried uninstalling
those new drivers and re-installing the older ones, it did not work, only when I wiped my hard drive partitions, restored my W7 pro image
and re-installed RW did it work again.
I have an 8800 GTS card.

I'm posting this as it may be of benefit to some members.

I think this more likely to be PhysX. The latest Nvidia drivers install these by default. Try going back to the old PHysX first.

Thanks for the reminder.
I remember reading that and deciding not to update my video drivers until I was sure the new drivers would be trouble free.
Consequently I'm still using version 191.07 ( released Oct 5, 2009 ) everythings OK so I don't want to tempt fate.
Cheers

Come to think of it, I may have posted it - I had the exact same problem
Good luck.

I had this problem this evening. Looked on the Railsim website wiki and they had a link to some PhysX drivers on the Nvidia website. Downloaded and installed the drivers and now it's working again.

Just wondering if the PhysX Driver is part of the video driver download or is it something you download seperately ?

In the past I've just downloaded whatever the new driver was and assumed it had the PhysX stuff included.

Thanks

They are part of the driver download but sometimes they don't install properly, or so I have read. I never have had a problem with it though.

Well just relating my driver upgrade experience for anyone who may be contemplating doing the same.

Decided to update from Driver 191.07 & PhysX 9.09.0720 to the latest WHQL Driver 196.21 and PhysX 9.09.1112 ( Win 7 64 bit)

Generally everything initially seemed OK but then I noticed something weird. On Port Road 3.0 scenerios Market Day 1 and Northern Irishman I had really bad shimmering/shaking in the in cab view. Other external views in the same scenario were OK but not in cab. I tried reducing AA back from X16 but no difference.
Other scenerios on the same route were fine and other routes seemed OK. ( not that I tried every scenerio on every route )

Any way I restored back to my old drivers ( and PhysX) as everything works OK - not sure when I might try updating again.

Glenn.
