I don't know what is going on but the activity editor is not working properly. My first problem is that Location events do not show up on the track diagram. The second problem is that the VCR has stop working. Neither the player train or any AI traffic appear on the track diagram.Can anyone shed some light on this problem. Am I going to have to reload the Editor tools.

Hello!A wise old guru taught me this trick:- Run regedit. (Start->Run->type in regedit then press OK)
- Search the registry for HWRenderer. (Ctrl-F in the regedit window,
then type in 'HWRenderer’ in the search field, I search only for
keys). It will take some time to find it during which the regedit
window does not change at all, there is no progress indicator.
- When HWRenderer is Found, on the right window pane click on the
first entry starting with ‘AE_ ‘, then hold the shift key and click
on the last entry starting with ‘AE_‘. All the ‘AE_‘ entries
should be selected.
Release the shift key. Press the 'Delete' key and delete all the
entries.
- Start the activity editor.
- Load an activity and ensure that view->service info is checked.
- Select tools->verify starting state
- The consist should appear in the 2D view.I hated to modify registry files, but it worked. Just make sure you only delete the "AE_(whatever the extension is" files and you'll do fine. Hope this helps. I have my AE go nuts every so often and this fix works every time.

Happy Rails,
