I have loaded the above simulation (from the original CD-Rom) onto my laptop which runs Windows 7 (64 bit). It appears to load ok. I have downloaded and installed the patches to upgrade to version 1.2 and also tried running it in Compatability Mode and as Administrator. The program appears to start whichever simulation activity I have selected, but I have found that some of the operating 'keys' are not working correctly, irrespective of which mode of traction I have selected. The 'faulty ones are as follows: Loco Brake 'Release' -- works on key ] but should be [ Loco Brake 'Apply' -- works on key # but should be ] Train Brake 'Release' -- works on key; which is correct Train Brake 'Apply' -- should work on key ' but does not work on any key. I have tried using the facility to change the key settings, but I'm unable to change them only delete them. I have installed this program before on my old computer which used Windows XP and it works no problem.

Microsoft has released the first patch for Train Simulator. This update fixes compatibility problems with several video cards and several other. Companies responsible for Microsoft Train Simulator 2. Microsoft Studios publisher Official website. Microsoft Train Simulator 2 release date for PC.

Will I have to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional in order to get this to work. Thanks for any help. Hi Azeez, Thankyou for your reply.

I have followed your suggestions, downloaded the updates and changed the Video Driver in Train Simulator troubleshooter, so for whatever reason I find I can now change the Keyboard settings for various functions, albeit to ones I wouldn't normally use. I find I can now run the various simulation activities okay. Tomtom Europe 1.9 Ipa on this page. I have also tried loading some add-ons (which previously work okay on XP), the first one was 'East Coast 1' which took about 10 miutes to load, but does actually seem to work okay. The second one I tried was 'London and South East', this again took over 10 minutes to load, but when I tried to run it the basic MSTS sceen came on then the whole program shut down. I then tried 'EC1' which had previously worked, but this again shut down the whole program.

I've now uninstalled 'L&SE' and 'EC1' and the basic Train Simulator. I then re-loaded the Train Simulator which I have now got to work okay (with altered Keyboard settings). Finally I loaded the 2 add-ons again and the same thing happened. I've never had any problems with the Train Simulator or any of the many add-ons I've installed when using XP, only now when I'm using Windows 7 home Premium. I'm completely at a loss to know what to do next!
