If you're going to uninstall (I recommend uninstall then re-install) your MSTS, move all your non-default routes away from your MSTS\Routes folder BEFORE uninstalling.>/p> If you're using Windows 7 (or Vista), read Installing MSTS on a Windows 7 PC. (By the way, if you're using Internet Explorer 8 or higher, select "Compatibility View" to ensure correct display). I know that theoretically you'll never have to re-install MSTS once installed (yet look at the registry hacks and other fixes that abound on the 'Net) but you sometimes need to consider the amount of time that you can spend time trying to work out which add-on caused the problem: at some point it becomes more time-effective to re-install MSTS than to continue to chase every rabbit down every burrow. I'm not suggesting for a moment that whenever you see the screenshot above, you should re-install MSTS, but sometimes there is no other way to correct some of MSTS' weirdnesses that crop up from time to time (for example, my last failure was that MSTS stopped recognising electric locomotives - it didn't matter whether they were default or add-ons, they simply were not recognised by the game). It is not intended to be a full list of available utilities, patches, physics upgrades and fixes, but rather just the basic necessities that you should consider immediately after (re)installing MSTS. Once finished, right-click "train.exe", click properties, select the compatibility tab, and set compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2 or 3 and select "Run this program as an administrator".Whether you're installing MSTS for the first time or, as many of us seem to, for the umpteenth time, this checklist of the basic "essential" steps will get your MSTS installation "back on the tracks" in a minimum of time with a minimum of frustration.Make sure to select the correct game install folder if you changed it from default while installing the game. Now, install "TRAIN_UPDATE1.EXE" or the appropriate version for your language (e.g, "TRAIN_UPDATE1_DE.EXE" for the German language version).You should see a dialog box that reads "atiumdag.dll - File successfully patched! (3 bytes written)"
Download and run "MSTS_AMD_BUGFIX.EXE", a program by jackfuste.Copy "atiumdag.dll" to the root of your Microsoft Train Simulator install folder (typically "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator" on 64-bit Windows or "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator" on 32-bit Windows).Locate "atiumdag.dll" on 64-bit Windows at "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" and on 32-bit Windows at "C:\Windows\System32".Use jackfuste's "MSTS_AMD_BUGFIX.EXE" to create a patched version of an ATI.
