I cannot get any custom cabs to work when I install them in MSTS. I follow the readme instuctions and when I try to load up the locos in MSTS I get an error message that the cabview failed to create. This of course crashes the program and I have to rebboot the entire system. As an example I downloaded the Norfolk Southern Dash 9 cabview to run my own copies with the NS control stand. This cab is a repaint of the NALW's custom cab according to the readme. When I edit the .eng file according to the instructions and start up MSTS the system crashes. Does anyone know what is causing this? Is there some command string I need to edit and make it work? Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
RobWhite
