Hi All, I have played Simsig before not on this laptop. I have followed the download procedure, but upon rebooting the computer I all have is the the help files and the uninstall program. What am I doing wrong ? Regards Colin Log in to reply |

Colin, You sound like you have correctly installed the System Files but have not downloaded any simulations yet. Head to the download area and take your pick! (NB: A good beginner sim is Royston) Matt Log in to reply |

Not really a newcomer but a new machine. What are the issues with Windows 7 - I am having trouble completing Swindon download. Thanks Ray Log in to reply |

I assume you have 64 bit Windows 7, there is an issue which stops one or two of the obsolete sims from being installed.

It works fine using Linux 64-bit (after the necessary registry patch - see Wiki), where Windows 64-bit fails to run the installers of Swindon, Didcot, Liverpool Street and Stafford.

Thanks for the input guys but you are speaking to a retired CEng MIMechE here, rather than an IT wizard. I feel dabbling with things I know little about is a bit risky. I have managed to download Exeter though and I think I can get 2 displays to run simultaneously, which will help with the annoying LC's.
