cant get my computer to see my tom as removable

If you're NOT a whizz, open it up and hoover all the dust out (carefully).

I'm trying to follow this thread, but you are losing me with your technical jargon Dennis. Are the thingies, the floppy bits that plug into the wotsits ?

Sorry, Tommo. I try my hardest to keep the jargon to a minimum, but there are some technical terms that simply can't be avoided. I mean, there's "Arms" and "Limbs", "fingers" and "digits", but for "thingies", you're just plain stuck with it. It's like describing a spiral staircase without using your hands. Maybe you could try getting onto an evening class for thingies?

well ive had my pc open took things out pushed things in,and it still is not going to have it...

[DennisN]

Last desperate throw of the dice - try one of those USB multi hub thingies (off your best mate - no point buying one to prove me wrong).

Final last throw of the dice - take the PC to a man who knows about thingies.

maybe ive found out what else it might be

ive only got 27% of free hard space on my pc how much would i need for the tomtom to be on my pc

[DennisN]

Nah, you're really clutching at straws now! - unless it's 27% of a very small Hard Disk and if you built it yourself you had more sense than to put a 10GB hard disk in (but even 27% of that would be far more than the TT needs).

If you're a whizz, replace the USB board. (As if I know what I'm talking about). Or reinstall the drivers for it, or check for new ones. Or build a new computer.

Did you consider System Restore to several months back? Seriously useful at times.

Hi wigfield, I had a similar problem back last year and if i remember right TomTom downloaded me a fix for my pc to read the device Go to their website and im sure there is something on their FAQ about it

[DennisN]

Break into your baby sister's piggy bank (or your baby's piggy bank) and go round to PC World and get one of their cheapo machines which will be good enough for TT to succeed. Or join the board of whoever is in charge of the new speed cameras in Saltash tunnel and buy yourself a million new machines with the profits.
