We recently had to de-louse our PC due to a virus attack. Now, two of my add-on routes (Red Arrow and Mid East UK) are generating a "Send-Don't Send" message referring to "dwmdrivers.dat" and "dxdiag.txt". Both routes worked perfectly before. I have reinstalled MSTS update 1.2. What's happening here, and how do I fix it?
Thanks!

RE: "DWMDRIVERS.DAT" error message

"dwmdrivers.dat" and "dxdiag.txt" are added when you get send-don't send with paint shop pro, they're the data dump for directX. Nothing to do with MSTS, they're related to the crash, not what's wrong with the game.The only thing I can suggest is run Route Riter to check both routes, then run the check all activities too.

Sniper: Thanks for the reply. Turns out that my MSTS installation needed major surgery (R & R). It took over 2 days to reinstall everything!! I hadn't had much experience with Route Riter until this happened: but I SURE LOVE IT NOW!!What a tremendous utility!!!Thanks both for your help, and especially for Route Riter!
