New msts installation please?

[pcohen]

Hi Ged.

Have an unusual problem here:-

When I Copy & Paste, I right Click an Item, select Copy it and then left click to Paste It, to where I want It to go.

BUT NOW, When I click Paste, It does exactly nothing.

This has brought me to a complete stand still with my current MSTS Setup.

thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,
I think you've missed a bit!
Right-click a file > select 'Copy'
Right-click a blank area of the screen in the same or a different location then Left-click or Right-click 'Paste'.
If a copy is to be created in the same location as the original, it will be given a ' - Copy' suffix.
The above applies to files and folders.

I cannot speak for Windows 11 but that's what I do in Windows 10!

Cheers,
Ged

I right Click an Item, select Copy it and then left click to Paste It

You must right click to get to the paste menu.

Same for Win 11. Just a point - us left handed people need to left click instead of right click, why I will refer to it as alternate click.

Hi Derek , Ged & oper180, That's exactly what I was doing.

However, since this Post, Automatic updates have started (quite a few usually, after a new Windows Installation).

And now everything Is working OK at the moment!!!.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Ged.

Right, I have now Installed Comp.exe & Decomp.exe in:-

C:\Program Files (x86).

But when running UKFS-Fix2.2 It tells me (In Red text) that they are both not Installed.

Also, the UKFS-Fix2.2 Shortcut now only goes onto the Desktop Instead of where normally I
have It on the Taskbar.

Seem to be going Round In circles again!

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

But when running UKFS-Fix2.2 It tells me (In Red text) that they are both not Installed.

Have you read the readme which comes with UKFS-Fix? That is where the red text I referred to is shown.

The shortcut will always be on the Desktop, unless you move it to the Taskbar yourself.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi Ged, thanks.

Will certainly have another Look.

However the Shortcut will not drag to the Taskbar like It normally does.

Thanks

Paul.

The Readme Text below (In Red) says:-

IMPORTANT
After comp.exe and decomp.exe have been installed, they MUST each be run from their respective .exe file, then <EXIT> pressed on their screen. If this is not done, their Registry entries will not be present and any attempt to run UKFS-Fix will fail.

But when finding their .exe files they will not open for me.

Everything seems straight forward enough.

But not for Me.

Paul.

Hi Paul,
Sorry, but I don't know what you mean!

But when finding their .exe files they will not open for me.

Double-left-click the .exe file or right-click the .exe file and select "Run as administrator".

I cannot help with your inability to pin the shortcut to the taskbar.

oper190 mentioned about left-handed users setting their mouse buttons the opposite to right-handed users - are you left-handed? If so, that might explain why you seem to be having so many problems with normal Windows navigation.

Cheers,
Ged

Hello again Ged.

Yes Ged, I am Left Handed but I have never knowingly altered any of my Purchased Mouse settings.

Checking Mouse settings In Control Panel however, I see the Left Mouse Button Is Highlighted In Blue. But I assumed this was normal for everyday use.

Also Today, I have run the Activity "The London and Dorset Wanderer" from London Waterloo To Weymouth In One run without any saves.

Also their were no Missing Track or Missing Scenery Problems.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,
You seem to have reverted to a previous subject so can I now assume that you've successfully run UKFS-Fix and no longer have the 'shimmering' tracks in Dorset Coast?

Cheers,
Ged

[pcohen]

hi Ged, me again.

I have had absolutely no luck whatsoever, with UKFS-Fix!!!!

However, I have now Completed another Activity " How We Were" In the Mid East Coast Plus Route from Start to finish with no Saves and again with
No missing Track or Scenery Problems.

So that Is now Two Route Completions with no Problems. Will be trying Thames Mersey and Thames-Trent Routes Tomorrow ( going out shortly).

Many thanks

Paul.

Hello everybody, me again.

I have had a few days off from the woes of MSTS!

I hope I have this right, recently I was told by a reliable source that you no longer need any of the folowing to run
MSTS If your are using Open Rails:-

Mstspatch, Newroads, Scalerail, scaleroad, SView22, shapeviewerdds, ukfs_v3.1.6, ukfs-fix2, XTracks, YTracks 01 & 02
etc.etc.etc.

I have now re-installed a fresh copy of MSTS with the following:- 6 Default Routes & the TUTORIAL ROUTE. Plus the following Routes:- Dorset Coast, Thames-Mersey, North Wales Coast. All of which are working fine.

BUT, this Route, MidEastCoastPlus by Mick clarke, will not run, It worked originally but no longer (this Route Is brilliant).

What am I missing or doing wrong please?

Meanwhile I will carry on and try and Install some more Routes.

Many thanks

Paul.

Hopefully an Open Rails Log File attached?
