Support & Status

The Current Release is Version 1.0.4.2

Release 1.0.4.2, May 2008:-

E004 - during manual skip, ‘n’ now goes directly to the next of arr/dep/pass for a train item. Also, the option to send emails directly has been removed. This affects Contact and Registration options.

1.0.4.2 re-issued late June to support Windows 98/ME!

I initially developed this release using a new 2008 version of Microsoft’s programming software. Unfortunately, after I had released it as above, I found that MRTT no longer installs under Windows 98/ME - presumably because Microsoft no longer support these Operating Systems! However I do, so the downloadable files have been rebuilt using the ‘old’ software. The MRTT software is functionally unchanged, but Vista users who have installed the earlier version of release 1.0.4.2 may be unable to use the ‘Upgrade’ download for any future releases - although no further releases are planned!

Windows Voices
Windows XP:
Carl Godbehere has reported that he has installed the trial version on Widows XP Pro, but has only one voice ‘Microsoft Sam’. For all Operating Systems, Microsoft Mike & Mary should have been automatically installed as well. For Widows XP, Microsoft have provided a fix: -

Windows XP only: Download file Sp5Ttintxp.msi from HERE. Double click the downloaded file and on completion you should have three voices!

Windows Vista
Only Microsoft Anna is Available, but as far as I can determine this is definite policy on Microsoft’s part. There are claims on the Internet that you can add the XP voices, but although Vista ‘allows’ the update, you are still left with one solitary announcer Anna. I also regret to say that, being American, she announces ‘due’ as ‘do’ not ‘dew’!

Connection Failures in Help/Register/Apply & Help/Contact

Neil Anderson (Hull UK) and others have had connection failures trying to register by the ‘direct’ option with message:-
“aamtaout03-winn.ispmail.ntl.com connection refused from [ip address here]”.
Virgin Media/NTL now have a black list of Service Providers who are not allowed directly to access their email servers, in an attempt to defeat Spam. This will also block sending messages via the Help/Contact screen if you are with a black-listed ISP.

Solution - either download version 1.0.4.2 or:

For registration, select the ‘I don’t have Internet option’
Follow the prompts to get the email content on the clipboard.
Create a new email outside MRTT to mrtt.support@ntlworld.com, Title Registration Request and paste the message into the email (see the Help).

For Help Contact, the solution is the same - but you cannot send me an anonymous message!
