MONON 17 unable to change to 2000

[hnt4redoktober]

ALL,
Pretty sure this may be an operator error, but I have installed MONON 17 and am trying to use the CSX 2000.bat file to switch from 1950. When I double click on the file, the window pops up, flashes off and then closes, when I go to the route, the splash screen still says 1950 and the route is also. Thoughts?

What path is your MSTS installed to?
Do you have UAC disabled?

What I'm getting at is if your install is in the Program Files (x86) folder hierarchy, you might have a permission problem.

Thanks for the response! I have the default directory assigned (C: Program Files/Microsoft Games/Train Simulator...) I haven't messed with UAC yet. I also verified that it's not Read Only.

Apparently you are using Windows XP, correct? If so, then have a look at this link, should help you out.

No, I'm using 8.1, should have stated that from the jump. I hear what your saying though in regards to UAC. Just hesitant to disable...

UAC does not prevent files from executing, but it does generate a query if the system considers that altering a file will put system integrity at risk. Files that have been changed without activating UAC and are now missing can usually be found in the Virtual Store. To avoid problems such as this, it is recommended to actually take ownership of the trainsim folders, or install things outside of the program files structure.

Thanks for the heads up of shifting from C:/Program Files, works like a boss now.
