When I went to load msts I got an error message saying msts needs hardware accelaration and refuses to work. I got a new dvd player, becuase I found my old one was not working, this has had no effect, am I needing to get a new cd of the game

has this happened to anyone else?

Moved here from the ship simulator forum.

The message about MSTS needing hardware acceleration is related to your graphics card. What sort of card is it and does it support hardware acceleration ?

Kindest regards

John

Start / Run dxdiag and under the Display tab make sure that all Acceleration options are Enabled.

Also set the Sound 1 / 2 Hardware Accelerations to Full !

Having done that then run the mprofile.exe in the Train Simulator folder to remind MSTS what graphics and driver are installed !

Thanks for that Otto. That was one of the questions I was going to look at when I finished work for the day

Cheers
