windows 7

on my desktop computer running windows xp I never have a problem loading my camera data base onto my garmin nuvi 1410 but when I try to load the camera data base from my laptop running windows 7, I always have a problem loading the voice pack I get the message unable to convert to correct format, anyone come across this before and can help me solve the problem?? thanks

When you say the 'Voice Pack' I assume you mean the .WAV files within the download ?

If so then they don't need converting at Win7 stage.

If the problem is at the POILoader stage then this is usually due to not having the correct, older, version of SOX.EXE in the POILoader program folder.

I've tried and just checked copied sox.exe from my xp along with the complete POI folder onto my windows 7, still did not work so deleted POI loader and downloaded again still does not work still getting the message cannot convert .wav file to correct format. I have noticed the latest poi loader is Jan 2012 should I be using an older version? and if so what the best download site? also where is the best place to download an older version of sox.exe?
big thanks for any help

POI Loader: http://www.garmin.com/poiloader (think there was an update around mid-February)

SOX.exe 'working version': http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/downloads/sox.zip

I have heard that POILoader 2.7 does have problems so your best to try and get version 2.6.

However, the 2.7 problems seem to be with creating the .GPI file when you select to write directly to the device.

Thanks guys it would appear there is a problem with the latest version of POI loader and windows seven, I have downloaded the older version 2.6 and this works perfect,
