Hi. I'm thinking about getting MS Train Simulator, and I have looked at the requirements, and I want to check my computer to see if I can use it. How would you check It to see If you can use the simulator? Thaks for any help. Donald
Hi Donald, Welcome aboard. Probably the fastest way to do it follows: Click Start Click Run Type it DXDIAG Click OK Doing this, you can check everything real easy and run the tests. You will need the latest video card drivers. If you need help on this one, let me know. To find out what you have, click on Display in the DXDIAG.

Sorry about the spelling on the last post. I keep telling my self there is something called spell check that I can use. Donald
Don't sweat the small stuff on the speeling Two things you can do, one is free. Download and install the latest drivers for your card. Buy more RAM. Get a 256 board. They are cheeeeep and you will notice a world of difference.
Thanks for helping me with my computer. Is there anything else I should check on that you think that mite cause a problem? Thanks again. Donald
Just do a clean install when you get MSTS and you should have no problems. One thing you might check is your Hardware Acceleration. Click Start Click Settings Click Control Panel Double click Display Click Settings Click Advanced Click Performance Make sure your hardware acceleration is set to full.
I'm good to go. I checked my Hardware Acceleration and it was already set on full. Now all I have to is go to Wal-Mart and get MSTS tomarrow. Thanks for all of your help on this. Donald
