"Windows Media Centre Edition" being Vista?

Media Centre Edition is XP.

iranair777, have you installed TTD properly, and have you got a recent (2.5 beta or 2.6 nightly) version of TTDPatch? If in doubt, there's this useful little program called Nr-TTD which semi-automates the process.

Well, to confuse things a bit there actually is a media center edition in the vista family

There is? It's not listed anywhere I looked (microsoft and wikipedia).

There isn't so much a Media Center "edition" so much.... there is the Home Premium Edition which includes the Media Center. The Media Center is also available in the Ultimate Edition.

There is no "Media Centre 'Edition'" in any form. There are five versions of Vista:

1. Home Basic
2. Home Premium
3. Business
4. Enterprise
5. Ultimate

I believe that Home Premium and Ultimate contain the Media Centre.

If Nr-TTD is too confusing, you could use TTDown, a GUI version of Nr-TTD. And it can use your existing installation of TTD and just fix it and put TTDPatch there.

yes, i downloaded ttdown and it stopped when i got to the bit when u choose how big u want ur file size so i dumped that one (unless thats normal) and i tried NR-TTD and still it doesn't work

iranair777 · Post by **iranair777** » 14 Apr 2007 10:51

i tried ttdown and it was about to install until it said there is already a ttdown patch or something like that

so i have resorted to deleting everything about TTD and then reinstalling

^^^^^^disregard^^^^^^^^^^ it works!!

now that it does, youll be seeing me here a lot! lol

Hmm, I'll look into that. Thanks.

EDIT: Do you mean this? You could have pressed YES and it would downloaded TTDP and fix the registry keys.

TTDown has found an existing installation of TTD. Do you wish TTDown to use it or to download it from the internet and install a fresh copy?

yes

but now im using OTTP, but am not sure which is better- OTTP or TTDP

You mean OTTD. There's no better. Both have advantages and disadvantages.

Same problem here! I installed nr-ttd_latest on my home PC, then made few changes in ttdpc.exe and when I try to open the game (ttdpatchw.exe) it tells me that "TTD is not installed properly <registry error 2>".

I have done the exactly same things on my office PC and there it works with no problem at all (except that those damned trains won't go where they should, no matter which signals I use, but that I'll figure out myself hopefully

)

Try running run_forcenoreg.bat instead of ttdpatchw.exe.

Ok, That kinda solves it.

Now how can I make it to run on full screen?? I tried to open GameGFX.exe (where I knew I can find an option for that) but it tells me that the game was not installed properly

Also the maximize button is not active.

PS: why do I have these problems on my home computer but not on my office one? I did the same things on each of the two....

No, you didn't know that. Because the option isn't there. You'll have to open registry.ini and change the appropriate number from a 0 to a 1.
