Hi if you do like the idea of going digital and purchase the controller and software you would also have to put decoders in your locos as dcc ready means that you can just plug in a decoder Hedley

Hi Chris thanks I had misread the OP's post, but when I saw the title RM Crashed and unable to reactivate I thought to mention about it taking time for to reset the activation code Hedley

Hi guys I thought that you were right Cris but when I saw it on their website I was just interested if it was re-listed and it is a shame that Hornby has pulled the plug as I think that it would have been a great seller especially with all of the potential customers who have the Select who probably would have purchased it Hedley

Hi I have been away from the forum for a couple of years and I was looking through all of the post that I had missed since my last visit. I had found this one as I had noticed in the new Railmaster pdf and it mentioned that the Select controller would be able to connect to the computer and Railmaster via a select-a-link cable and I noticed that Chris said that the cable had been withdrawn from the range, however I have been looking through Hattons website tonight and they are advertising it for a pre-order item and I was wondering if Hornby has changed it's mind again for to manufacture it ? Hedley

Hi if you are going to contact HRMS be aware that it can take 2 weeks for a reply from them if you are contacting through Railmaster as my brother has had a problem with deactivating Railmaster from one computer and then trying to reactivate on a new computer and it was sorted on Monday 3/10/2020 when his product key was able to activate his account after waiting for the 2 weeks Hedley

Hi AC thanks very much again for the info however I have now activated it successfully but I have done something else and I'm at a loss now at what I have done so I will start another topic and someone out there is bound to know what I have done wrong. Thanks very much again Hedley

I wouldn't care but I thought that your only allowed 1 av on Windows systems however the manufacturer of my laptop put both on and I didn't realize until I had went back to square one and found it. Thanks very much for the tip about the products on AC's site I'll have a look at it and take it from there

Hi Chris and fishmanoz I'm very sorry for using the arrow and blue box, I'm very new not only to dcc and railmaster but also to forums in general and I had thought that it was like the reply button on emails and that's why I had used it. However as I had said that I would like to thank everyone who had replied to my question regarding Windows 10 and also the reason I had went back to square one was that it was a new computer purchased for to use railmaster with my layout, and the computer had not only Norton av and fw but also McAfee security as well so when I had reset my computer I had uninstalled both software from the hard drive before I had installed the railmaster and relied totally on Windows defender for the security as I only intend to use this computer on my layout with railmaster. Thanks very much again to everyone Hedley

Hi all, thanks very much for your help regarding the activation of railmaster however I had tried always for to disablel the firewalls etc so I had ended up taking my computer back to square one and the factory settings and starting afresh with windows defender, but as I was waiting for it to finish the set up I had noticed something that I had missed as well which was that my router could have it's own firewall settings as well as the antivirus software and that's where my problem was and not the antivirus as far as I know as I had mc affee installed which had gave me a run around as well for trying to allow the railmaster access so thanks very much again for all of your help hedley

Hi has anyone any idea how to activate on Windows 10 it keeps on saying that my activation key is incorrect and to run as administrator which I have done but I still get the same message it also says for to add it as administrator for the internet security as well and I have done that as well but it still won't let me activate the software I would be very grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction Thanks Hedley
