Hi there,
I played SimSig often for one or two years, Now I have a new computer with windows7 and tried to download the system files V2.103. But it doesn't work: the only thing what is downloaded then is the help. I'm feeling like quite stupid, but who can help???

What did you do Sven? There are new license information you need to agree to before you can download it. Did you see that? Did you agree and did you then click on the download link that comes up?

Sven,

You say that you have downloaded the system files but it didn't work but that it did download/install 'the help', that seems to suggest it actually did work - or do you mean that you couldn't download the system files but you could download the help?

A few more questions;

What makes you think that the system files, or the download of them, didn't work?
Did you receive any error messages or did anything pop up?
Also, what browser are you using?

The system files doesn't contain a lot...If a remember correctly, its mainly the SimSig font (which gets installed into one of the Windows folders) and some registry settings so its possible you won't see anything installed. Check in your installed program list, is the SimSig system files listed as being installed?

Also, did you actually try installing and running a sim at all?

Following on from Lardybiker's posting, the test to see whether the system files have installed is to run a sim. If the display shows correctly, the system files are installed; if the display shows letters and other characters instead of the correct display for the trackwork, the system files have not installed.

Thanks all for your help: It works now: indeed the installation was complete but I didn't see it. I just downloaded my favourite NLL and he does work without doing any other thing. I'm happy again
