The other day I received my new Train Master Simulator Version 4.3.I intall the cd that came with it and set my display on my computer to the number 16 rather than 32. My computer Computer is a Dell Dimension 2400 Series. It is a Pentium 4,with 640Mb of Ram and the hard drive is 40GB. I loaded up the Amtrak FP40 type of locomotive pulling about 6 or 8 Amfleet coaches across the plains of Utah. Ok, then the next day I tried to swich to another railroad like the B&0 in the Eastern part of the United States. Well, I tried to load that train and I got an error pop up saying “failed to open DIB File”. What am I doing wrong? Or do I need to send this simulator back where I ordered it from. I using XP Home Edition as the Microsoft Platform. I notice on the second page of the manual it states that Microsoft 95,98,2000,ME,but not the XP,could that be the problem? I appreciate any help I can get this simulator working properly as it should. Thank you.
Let me see if I can make a feeble attempt to solve your problem or at least get you on the right track:
Without ever seeing or trying a Train Master simulator of any kind I think I know what general area your problem comes from
- You mention your error message says “cannot open DIB file” in relation to a certain train on a certain route. If this is anything like MSTS there’s either an absent or corrupt file in your train files. IF your train is an add-on you might try to reinstall the train (not the whole game). Or if you know how to tinker and explore train files you might look into those file folders to find the problem. TIP: when that error message pops up write down the exact file name and extension verbatim and then do a search to find out exactly where that file is located on your computer. IF the train your trying came with the game try other trains on the same place your having difficulty. You might want to try calling a customer service/troubleshooter
