Thanks guys... Interesting, isn't it? This shutdown prob I have actually started while trying a nVidia 7900 GS with driver 84.21, exactly the same as Nath9425. I am becoming convinced I have a problem other than the card/driver bit! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I just...

Hi Juniper Driver. If you are using a nVidia card to successfully run BVE4, could you kindly advise which model card it is and which driver you have installed. Also, what operating system are you using? Thanks for this info.

Thanks Dennis. I have been following the various forums on this topic for what seems like ages! I guess I was really asking here if the app slowing down to the point of hanging, then the blue screen with error meassage is related to the grotty graphics, or is this a separate issue? I see...

My troubles with BVE4 and Vista are detailed elsewhere on this board. Eventually, I reloaded XP in a dual-boot configuration. Now I can open and (start to) run the Uchibo line. However the overall effect is very wavery with platform uprights swaying in the breeze and open grassland resembling a...

After spending lots of time surfing nvidia forums, I found a comment that it took nvidia some years to perfect their product to work well with XP, so it's only natural it will take some time to perfect the nvidia/Vista compatibility issue, especially when running some "older" applications. One...

Have already done so. And after that, the Beta 169.28. Neither made a scrap of difference to my situation...unfortunately! Have posted on a couple of nVIDIA forums and sent a request to their technical boffins. With the holidays upon us, it could be a while before...or if...we hear anything!

Dan...I restored to a point prior to my insatalling BVE4 to the Vista HDD, so at the moment, it's not there! Will PM the log extracts shortly. Many thanks, Dan. (Some hours later). I reinstalled BVE4...that's all, no Uchibo10 or any other train, folder, etc, then tried to open. Got the...

Most unfortunately, no joy! I used the removal tool to remove 1.0...worked fine. Downloaded .NET1.0, extracted, and installed. Two error messages at the end...could not register mscoree.dll and mscordbl.dll. Installation rolled back. Logs ndicate Registration Utility stopped working and was...

Thanks Dan. I tried the MS method...found I had to take ownership of umpteen files and folders to do the job...was able to delete all but mscoree.dll. It would not budge! At first, I did have the "already installed" message, but then found a couple of items I'd missed, so it reinstalled OK, but...

Last night I did a fresh instal of BVE4 (and Uchibo10) from the Mackoy site. I tried a fresh instal of .NET 1 Framework, but it would not instal because it was already there! (I currently have installed v1.0.3705, v1.1.4322, v2.0.50727 and v3.0.) I followed your unreg then reg of dx7vb.dll and...

Good to see your solution to this prob. I am a bit confused though! Are you suggesting 2.6 be uninstalled and replaced with the earlier version? Or can your unreg/reg routine work with BVE4 v2.6? (A recent registry cleanup? has screwed my dualboot arrangement so I would rather run BVE4 in Vista...

Thanks for your help guys.

This may appear to be a very naive question, but perhaps someone could steer me in the right direction. I see from time to time, a release of a new train. But, not being a native of the UK, I cannot find which route(s) to download to run that train. I realise I can use BRR to run the trains on...

That sounds like a real good reason! Thanks for the reply.

After help from eazypeezy and others, found I was able to match routes to approximations of the appropriate trains with a bit of renaming of train folders. (Am now doing some fiddling with BRR.) However in this case, I do have the C stock OK, but timetable is missing...just a blank white...
