I assume this has been covered before. But I have had a scan and can't find it! Before I start to install MSTS on my Laptop, is there anything I need to do? And DLLs I need to download or anything?

I have a "Windows Vista" and MSTS works fine,but I would not recomend not to get the following add-ons.

"London SouthCoast the series"
and
"London & SouthEast"

They are fine if you only use one of the two,but if both are installed MSTS does not work and you have to un-install it and start again.

Anyway this only happens sometimes not always.

the main tip for using MSTS with Vista is to run it as the administrator to avoid any issues. UKTrainSim website has a forum dedicated to running MSTS with Vista ;)
