Error Message: System.NullReferenceException

[freeway2]

Hi
I keep getting the error message:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at ORTS,Viewer3D, PrepareFrame (RenderFrame frame, ElapsedTime elapsedTime at ORTS, Updater Process. UpdateLoop()

I am trying the new ORTS download and get this message on all routes, the earliest ORTS program worked for me so I believe I had all the required extra programs installed.
Can anyone explain to me what a fix might be?

Thanks so much,
Tom

You should attach the OpenRailsLog.txt from your Desktop.

Tom,
As James suggested, attaching the Open Rails log file is extremely important. Some more info on which Routes (names)/ Activities you've tried would help, too.
thanks

Here is the Open Rails Log:

Did you by any chance set Sound Detail Level to 0 in the Options? Unfortunately setting that to 0 is broken in V360 (it's been fixed in the development versions since).

[freeway2]

Thank you James. The sound was indeed set to zero, when I changed it, Open Rails worked!
Thank you and Chrisvw for the help.
Tom
