Here are two "triggers" that I've encountered so far that have led me to this outcome - avoid making these mistakes, as the program will bug out on you.1 - When creating a passing path, let the computer do it's thing and it will create the entire passing path. Don't attempt to change a switch on your passing path using the "TAKE OTHER EXIT" option, or the program will shut down.2 - When making pickups of freight cars, be careful not to click the same car twice, or the program will bug out on you.Finally - as you've seen it said here a few times, DO NOT SEND the error report to Microsoft, as your PC will hard lock up on you, no ESC key, not even a CTRL-ALT-DEL will unleash it, only a complete and total reset of the system, along with the dreaded SCAN DISK message.Any others?!? Help me to know before I crash again! Thanks! Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
