Failed Activity Load

[AmtrakFan007]

Hello all.

I just downloaded this program today. I have double-checked that all pre-req programs are installed. I also did a scan of the titles in the forum and found nothing, so if this was answered already I apologize. This error (word for word I do not know) shows up for every activity and every train I try to load.

Error: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070422): The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070422)

Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix it? Thank you in advance for all suggestions.

Which version of the MSTS Global Tsection.dat do you have ?

Open it with NOTEPAD and it will tell you at the top !

[AmtrakFan007]

Tsection.dat is version 1.2, build 00027.

Tsection.dat is version 1.2, build 00027.

Check the file library for a more recent version. I'm running build 00044.

Check the file library for a more recent version. I'm running build 00044.

It's the tsection.zip released 19. December 2011.

I don't think it's a problem with the tsection file... looks more likely to be something about the graphics hardware. Is this a laptop?

[OTTODAD]

Another question !

Is it just that one activity or do those in other routes cause a similar error ?

[AmtrakFan007]

This happened with every route / activity I tried. The new tsection did in fact fix it.

@musko : I am running a desktop with 6GB of RAM.

Please check in your Windows' "Services" control panel for the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service and check it shows up both as "State: Running" and "Startup type: Automatic". If it is not running, try starting it; if it fails to start, you have a fundamental problem with your system which needs fixing before Open Rails will run.
