I'm having trouble with both the Victoria SIMS (C and SE)

Last night I downloaded the latest version of the Loader and both versions of the Victoria SIMs. But when I tried to run them I firstly got a message in the Loader saying "This simulation uses features not supported by this version of the loader. You need to update your loader." Knowing that I had downloaded the latest version I ploughed on but when the SIM loaded I got the screen below. Still undeterred I kept going, but once the SIM started I found that trains did not leave the SIM at their exit points (e.g Selhurst, Wallington, Norwood Jn). Consequently other trains kept backing up behind them.

Aware that my computer is some 4 years old and has been running slow lately, this morning I used "system restore" to take the computer back to its original factory defaults. Waiting for the thing to clean itself up and then re-installing basic programmes and updates (like McAfee, Word and so on) took all morning.

Then the moment arrived. I connected to the internet, downloaded the latest loader again and the two Victoria SIMs. Exactly the same thing is happening as before.

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong and what I can do to make it all

work?

I know little about computers, so any answers in plain English, please. And also please keep it simple!

Thanks in anticipation!

Just checking that as well as downloading the sims you have also bought the licences for them and allocated them to your computer?

Have you tried clicking on the "check for updates" button when you first open the loader as these are the most current updates

Certainly pressing the "check for updates" button, should give you the latest version of the loader, which is 4.0.25.

Could you also please paste the data from the log file which you are directed to in that image into a post?

Phew, and thank you! Having just downloaded the loader from "download system files first" I had not guessed that I would also need to check for latest version.

Just done that and reloaded everything and it seems to be OK. Obviously I'll need to run the SIM for an hour to see if problems emerge but for now it seems to be fixed.

Thanks for your help and swift reply.
