Trouble running Marias Pass 3.1

I just recently purchased MSTS 1.2 and installed it on my XP Windows machine, so I'm new to the whole downloading routes scene...I downloaded each of the seven Marias 3.1 zip files, as well as the three patches, and installed them to default MSTS folder. Running the installme.bat produces no errors. I've also installed Xtrack 3.7 as required with no errors. The installation instructions for each were followed to the letter.The Marias 3.1 route appears in the route selection window in MSTS. However, when I select the route and "Start", I receive the Error window "Error: continue? Failed to save service." Selecting "yes" only produces more error windows, eventually closing MSTS; selecting "no" closes MSTS.I have no idea why I'm having these problems, since I haven't seen anyone else complain about this type of installation problem.Thanks for any help.

Hi Mikpere,as a first shot: Open the MP31 folder and check if there are subfolders in there named
- Activities
- Paths
- Services
- TrafficIf they miss, create them or copy/paste them over from ../Train Simulator/Templates/
Plus: The path folder needs at least one .pat file in it for the route to work.Furthermore, do also make sure you have an EnvFiles folder, which should have been copied over from the default USA2 route, IIRC. Lukas a.k.a Swissie
