I have the Microsoft Train Stimulator also. I dont have the specs needed to run the game off hand. However, having purchased a new system 2 years ago that was built around the Ti 4600 video card from Geforce 4 with the 128 mb of video memory and a 1600 P4 CPU and about 1 gig of DDR memory. The game will run and not crash. <br /> <br />The issue of addons were a problem until I started using one hard disk for system files, Firewall, antivirus, anti spyware etc etc and the other disk for gaming/server use. The second disk gets the downloads, updates etc etc if there is ever a problem with my system, the damage is confined to the C:\ drive The games and stuff is intact on it's own disk. <br /> <br />And there is a very big disk of about 200 gig in size which I back up to once a month everything on the computer. After the backup the disk is unplugged and set aside so that it will not be affected by any future problems. Theoratically I can suffer a complete system failure and by simply putting the big disk in and booting up be back in business while I reformat the other two disks on a seperate computer. <br /> <br />I hope these ideas from this post will assit you in being able to run Train Stimulator. <br /> <br />As a personal side note the steam sounds for power in the Train Stimulator are tied to the speed of the engine. I remember that I would close the throttle and open the cylinders for a station stop and the thing will keep chugging as if there is actually power being sent to the cylinders. Actual steam engines were sometimes very quiet. <br /> <br />Maybe the next release will be a bit more responsive to driver input. <br /> <br />Perhaps these thoughts will guide you in your endaevors in getting crash free.
