Microsoft Train Simulator

[RoadCar]

Hi,

I’ve a Windows XP laptop. Recently bought to play old games.

I’ve installed Microsoft Train Simulator. The 2001 one. But when I come to play it all I get is Please insert disc into CD drive.

There are two disc but neither seem to work.

I’ve bought Trainz 2006 simulator that works fine. But it is MSTS I’d like to play.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Does the laptop have a DVD drive or did you install with the .iso file?

Has DVD drive. The seller was a bit confused by it as well.

The prompt to insert disc should be on the MSTS install screen, not a
windows alert.
You should be OK on an XP laptop according to google.

I’m wondering if I bought a duff game.

Does the drive work well with other things?

I may still have my original discs from 2001, if they're around here I'd be happy to send them on to you. Will have a dig through ye olde case of software on physical media.

Yes I’ve installed Trainz simulator. Just seems to be MSTS.

Was just going to say, I'd gladly send you mine, but they are in deep storage.
