Hi all,
TomTom Home is very capricious, a PITA not to say it :-).
Some remarks:
Doesn't work on Windows 2000 as announced by TomTom without installing
Microsoft .net Framework2 prior to installing Home2.
That said, the installation is messy, puts things in Docs & Settings\All
users, in Doc & settings\my_ID, in its install dir, in my documents, and
probably elsewhere I've not identified yet (clues are appreciated).
One problem is that it doesn't send a warning when downloading a map if the
room isn't wide enough in My Documents. The issue is that the installation
aborts and can't restart (corrupted map.rar). I had to remove tomtom home
and to re-install it, changing the data directories.
The current problem:
When trying to handle the GPS from the TOMTOM Home menu. It claims to
install a program that ends in doc & settings\my_ID\... then the operations
abort with an error message. Whatever I may do, I can't use this home
option. In their FAQ, TomTom clearly write that this is a bug of Home 2.7,
related to Windows 2000 and that they're working "hard" <grin> to fix it.
The Tech. support says the contrary and gave a procedure that ended with
twice the installed objects appearing in the Home window, and, of course,
the annoyance is still here.
Has anybody a clue that TomTom experts might ignore ?
Thanks in advance and best regards
