Open Rails and Windows 7 64-Bit

[seagoon]

Just acquired a new PC and I am wondering if I need to do a fresh install of Open Rails or just move it over from the old one?
MSTS runs fine, incidentally.

I doubt you'll have any trouble just moving your Open Rails folder over. I'd still keep it out of "Program Files" or Program Files (x86)" though. Either way, moving it or installing fresh, you'll have to go through and re-configure the options and settings -- those are stored in the Registry. With a more capable system, you'll probably want to bump some settings up anyway.

You'll definitely want to make sure on the General tab of the options, put a check in "Large address aware binaries" to get the most out Win7's memory management.

Thanks, Eric.
Yes, I had checked the box for the binaries.
All appears to be fine except for one thing - the Ctrl+9 key sequence doesn't bring up the Dispatcher screen.
I've checked the Keyboard settings and that key combination is definitely set.
However, I noticed in the logfile that it states a "False" for that setting.
Here's the line, copied from that log:-
ViewDispatcher = False

Any clue as to what I might need to do to make it "True"?

In Options/General there is a tick box for the dispatcher window. With that checked CTRL+9 works.

For crying out loud....I must be going blind!!
(No hairs on my palms, though!)

Thanks, Mr. Baldwin, for being so polite.
