DCForum Discussion Forum - Marian Pass 3.0

I am having trouble getting MP3.0 to work on my computer. I followed the directions that came with the down load but nothing happens. I'm running Window's XP (home edition). Any advice or help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

This installation requires that you follow the directions "exactly" - take it from someone who had to attempt the instalation 5 times before getting it correct. The major problems I have seen written about here are:1. Be sure to delete the folders and USA2.trk file as specified in the marias3 folder you created from the copy of USA2.2. Be sure to rename the USA2 copied folder exactly as specified in the instructions - this is case sensitive3. Do not attempt to copy the entire MP3 folder you created from the d/l zip file - copy the folders and files inside of that folder.If you follow the instructions in the read me exactly the route should install with no trouble, and believe me this is well worth the effort. This route is so much more enjoyable that the origianl MP.Ken

Andi,
The activities that are in the MP3 folder do not work. You need to download the reworked MP3 activities. I don't remember the file name, but run a search on MP3 in the freight activities area and you should be able to locate the fixed activities.I also would suggest that you look at the original activities you are interest in (the ones written for the default MP) as many of the activities require non-default equipment.Good luckKen
