Something strange has happened here.... I had a neat (IMHO) activity set up for the GM&O route with the new doodlebug.Suddenly when I load it to play I get a phone home crash. This is also happening for ALL activities for this route AND ATSF Marceline activities. Since it occurs on two separate computers I have trouble justifying it as a system problem (or M$TS installation problem).I can load anything and explore but even a completely new activity with new paths and consists results in the same crash. Crash happens immediately before the activity info screen pops up but after I'm looking out the cab window....Anyone run into this problem before??? Thanks!

RE: Explore OK, Activities NOT!

I think I've solved this issue. It seems to be centered around video and memory. I backed up the video display settings and suddenly it runs but the F10 display doesn't show station names, only clock and distance to station. This may have something to do with having the transparent driver aids installed..... Will try the semi-trans and see if that improves that situation....JBD
