I had this problem too. I am not sure what fixed it except that I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it somewhere else. I am not an expert in these matters, but my experience would indicate there is a slight problem in the manner that the (...) (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

Hi All, There are new pictures on our web site www.PNLTC.org of the last GATS (Great American Train Show) we did in Portland, OR on Feb 20 -21. The show gallery is found on the Gallery page. There is about 100 pics. The Galery page layout is a bit (...) (26 years ago, 8-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) it on a scope. If we have a PWM voltage with a 50% duty cycle and 10 millisecond period An analog voltmeter will report the average voltage of 4.5, not 5 milliseconds DC 9V and 5 milliseconds DC 0V because it does not have the timescale (...) (26 years ago, 8-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

Since I released Track Designer 2.0 I've had a number of people email me saying that after they install it says it can't find the registry.tdl file. Why is this? I've never got to the bottom of it and despite requests no one has ever told me if (...) (26 years ago, 8-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)
