When starting the first activity i get to the first helper uncouple and when i press f9 to bring up the coupling screen box it dosent show and my train sim locks up. I have a full train with correct downloads , just cant manage it . The coupling screen works on other routes and activities. Any suggestions out there ?

"The coupling screen works on other routes and activities"Brian, not exactly sure of interpretation on above, so will re-question .. is this the first time you've used the F9 screen with the ADF? Also, are you using XP, ME or W2000?RobertR .. ADF-M&RM at http://www.adfrr.com

Hi Robert
Well i went into other activities on route and the coupler (train ops) screen works. This is NOT the first time have used the screen on this route. Have done all other activities successfully. I am running windows XP-PRO. This has me stumped !!!!-cause i've never seen this problem posted before . Have tried a re-install of route and activities - all work ok except the newest local activities-(adfrbl02.zip). Love the route, love the activities , am open to any suggestions except scrapping puter --lol

Just on a hunch .. try this for number 1 and see if there is any difference. This one starts out with a reverse point under the consist (which I moved out in front, since it is not really a clearly defined function) and was thinking it might have something to do with it, although I don't see how. I'm not really sure what is going on since there has been some trouble (not even able to use the route at all for about 12 people that I know of), but it has been the track monitor, not F9. I'm going to be gone for a couple of hours, but will check when I get back to see what has transpired btw, this is ADFBR L02.zip (the first one of the series). Just virus check, then open and click on the apk or however you normally do it.RobertR .. ADF-M&RM at http://www.adfrr.com
