can t get trainz2006 running odd error mesages

I have got the Vista B2 installed and working properly on my (intel) iMac, including Aero with all it's fancy effects. Most of my stuff is also working, including various games. However I can't get Auran Trainz 2006 to work at all, both the main game and the content management app (it has a custom content management section, that works with the official website).
The game comes up with this error. http://www.tonysmac.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/Error1.JPG "RenderingSystem failure Your computer hardware and or software is unable to communicate correctly with Trainz. Ensure you have: -Installed DirectX9 -Installed the latest drivers for your video card. -Tried both OpenGL and DirectX settings.
If the above does not work, please consult your manual or visit tecnical support."
Which suggests it needs both (?) DirectX (some people with different HW configs' have got it to run, so I don't think it's a 'looking for DX9 not DX10' sort of thing)and OpenGL (?). The Vid' HW in the iMac is a ATI Radion X1600 with 128mb of card ram. I have tried both the drivers that came with Vista and the ones you can get from ATI. Both work the card and let Aero do all it's transparency stuff, but both produce the same error, and don't seam to come with OpenGL drivers. Are there any other drivers for this card I can try?
The Content management part comes up with this, which seams a bit cryptic. http://www.tonysmac.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/Error2CMP.JPG "Error Unable to register Trainz URL registry key" I have no idea about this.
Can anyone help shed any light on these problems? This is a 'clean install' of Vista (as the partition was formatted as Fat-32 before). So there are NO 'pre-Vista' bits hanging around to cause problems. The iMac HW specs are 2Ghz Intel Core Duo: 2Mb L2 Cache: 1.5GB RAM: ATI Radion X1600 Graphics with 128mb of RAM: Giving it a 'Vista Score' of 2. Thanks for any sort of help.

I have a PC and TrainZ 2006 does not run on Vista as well.

Hi.
I couldn't get the game to work as well, but did find out, that it was the beta drivers from nvidia that causes this. If i use the driver that microsoft ships for my nvidia 7900GT card, i can get the Trainz part to run. I still cannot get CMP to work.

Somehow i also got CMP to work. I installed .Net 1.1 and the downloaded the SP1 for it, and installed that one.
Now i get 3 errors when i start it, saying it was unable to register my seriel, but then it starts CMP.

i recently upgraded to vista and trainz2006 was a nightmare to run. but now it works perfectly including download manager what i first done was uninstall the old version of trainz 2006. then updated drivers for my videocard (radeon 1300) i then installed a newer version of trainz 2006 (its called trainz railway simulator it is actually trainz 2006 and is released by focus) i found a copy on amazon.co.uk for £8 and it is vista compatible, install it and at the end of the install it will ask you if you want to intall directx 9 click no, it will then intall netframework 2. after install go onto microsoft website and download netframework 2 service pack 1 (40mb) install update, go back to desktop and on the trainz 2006 icon right click and select run as administrator. when trainz menu comes up put in your details (username etc) then run content manger.
hope this helps anyone having problems with trainz 2006 and vista

startup. The Problem is DIVX. Uninstall DIVX, Reboot your compter and run the game. ENJOY!!!!
P.S I tried the latest version of divx and the problem is still there. The only way to run this game and a few others that are effected in the same maner is to uninstall divx. Peace.
