Issues with TSRE5

[Pascal Good]

So, if I don't have a C:/tools folder, should I make one?

So, should I put it on an USB-Stick or just somewhere else?

You can put it on a thumb drive. It will work, just not real well. USB interfaces usually aren't fast enough for smooth operation.
Put it on a hard drive, or preferably an SSD, in your computer.
If you only have a single drive, C:\, you can create the folders there. just be sure that you don't put them in a Windows managed folder.
It's suggested to create the folders in the root of the drive.

So, now I did this, and Open Rails won't open anymore, and if it does, nothing appears, just empty icons
Oh, yea, if you think I'm a bit stupid, I'm just 13 and know literally nothing about computers.

So, I did this, Open Rails works, but even with the correct folder, consists won't save

There is log.txt file in the same directory as TSRE. After trying to quit and save, open it and look at the last lines and check what TSRE says about saving these files. You can paste these lines here too.

Maybe your windows account is so limited that it won't allow writing to disk C by untrusted apps?

So, there are a few messages, that are very weird. What I've noticed is a message all the way at the bottom saying [I] con file write error. file not open "c:/msts/train simulator/trains/consists/"

Should I try to put the consist folder away and back in?

There is no file name after /consists/. Did you paste a good log line here? If yes, there is a problem with your consist name. Does your new consist have a filename?
