AutoDetect Pre-Download Warning
 

Please Read this page before downloading this version of 3D

PLEASE NOTE:  These instructions are also included as part of the following CompuTrainer 3D Update, so you can refer to these notes after installing the patch by going to:
Windows™ Start menu / Programs / CompuTrainer 3d V3 / AutoDetect Instructions

If this version of 3D crashes as soon as it is launched, please take the following steps to eliminate the problem:

FIRST, Generate a DirectX Diagnostic Report. Go to the Windows™ Start menu, click on Run and type: DXDIAG and click OK. After the program has finished loading, run all the tests shown on the -Display- tab. When all tests are complete, click on the "Save all information" button found at the bottom of the page to save a copy of this test’s information onto you computer.

SECOND, using My Computer, browse to the C: Drive, then to Program Files (click "OK to view these files" if prompted) locate the folder CompuTrainer 3D V3 and locate the files: _bike.log, ba.log and fatal.log, if found, and attach these files, along with a DirectX Diagnostic Report, in an e-mail to roger@computrainer.com.  With this information we can try and determine why this aspect of the 3D software will not function on your computer

THIRD, go to the Windows™ Start Menu and then Programs and then to the CompuTrainer 3D V3 Program Group. Click on the menu item called Turn OFF Auto Detect and edit the line that says:

skip autotest=false

to:

skip autotest=true

Now close this file and save changes when prompted to do so.

 



What you have disabled is an auto communications test. You can now retry the 3D software and assuming this solved your problem, you'll now need to run your own communication port check by running Check Comm Ports in the 3D Software Options Screen. We will use the information you send to try and solve this in future builds.  This will be a permanent work-around until further research can be done.
