Unfortunately, the above means you cannot play Open Rails on your current computer in its current configuration. If you have any anti-virus software, try temporarily disabling it - it might be preventing OR from collecting the data it needs here. If you've customised which Windows services are running, try undoing the customisations.

Thanks James. It was the Comodo Firewall that was stopping it. I uninstalled the firewall and now OR is working. Does anyone know how i get OR to work with Comodo. Comodo can be a real pain because when it is disabled it can still stop apps from working.

Thanks for letting us know what was causing the problem.

I can't find much good information about what options might be available in Comodo, but I did find mention of a "DNS/RPC Client Access" option (not sure if it is per-process or global though) that could be worth trying if you have the time.

I don't know if this will help, but it might be worth a read.
