Help Clicking on a Route causes a freeze

Post by Retro »

Hi,
All my commercially bought routes and the default routes work but when I click on Modern England or Woodhead Routes the computer crashes.
These where working when I last tried them about a week ago
Application Error report only gives details about a possible missing dll or a registry entry missing very vague
Thanks in anticipation

Try downloading the latest tsection.dat file v26, and installing that.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. The last route I installed was the Woodhead Route. I installed Cambrian and Severn Valley commercial routes before Modern England and Woodhead. Where can I get the file you mentioned from?.

Hi Again,
Have just discovered the problem but I don't know how to fix it.
It is down to the Activities I created for the two problem routes.
I had to do a complete Hard Drive re-install due to a major problem with burning software.
I saved all the activity files I had done myself. On re loading them into the current new setup causes the problem. As soon as I delete them everything works as normal. All trains consists etc for the activities are all in the new Trainsim Install.
Help !!!!!!!!

Put the activities back in one at a time and test each one in the AE first.

Thanks for all the help.
A.E. came up with missing Paths. Did a check and discovered I had forgotten to move the data over from services, paths and traffic folders.
I must be going stupid.
All Activities are now working.
Again thank you everyone for the help and advice. Tsection dat. was also an old version. Found the file and downloaded it.
Sorted.
Regards
James
