Splashscreen Files

I have lost all of my splash screen files from my TT910. There are no files relating to Splash Screens showing in the TT directory, (in my case the F: directory) Can anyone tell me what files I need and where I can get them from.

Hi,

There is a sticky at the top of this forum that discusses new splash screens and most probably where to place them.

That would be the first place to look.

Also placing splash into the search engine will bring up suitable responses.

There have been a lot of posts with regard to splash screens and some of the very experienced people on the forum get a little tense with the less experienced if we do not look before we ask.

Regards

Dennis,

You are dead right.

The english language is so difficult to use and it is so easy to misinterpret the written word.

Apolgies to the experienced et al.

Regards

Hi Dennis!
I backup once a week not once a month, Promise!!
But I have not played with the splash screens for possibly 6 months, Now I
realise that I have been getting the TomTom hands as a splash and I've dug deeper and realise now the hands splash is a (sort of) default screen which appears when the other files have been deleted, (I think i'm right about this!)
I searched the F: drive, zilch! Any idea where I can download the suspendw.bmp file from

If you've been backing up regularly you shouldn't have lost them. You could look for them in one of the following (you'll have several backups to look through) ...
C\Docs&Settings\(Username)\MyDocs\TomTom\Home\Backups\GO\Backup01\Storage
C\Docs&Settings\(Username)\MyDocs\TomTomGO
'Course, an easier/quicker way would be to do a Search in C: for splashw.bmp and suspendw.bmp (in fact search for *w.bmp and you'll get loads including these two with just one search). Search just worked for me, then you'd simply right click on the file, select Copy, then right click on F: (the 910) and select Paste.

I'm really not sure if it's legal - let's see if a moderator will tell us - but if it comes to it, send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you the two splash bmp files so long as the mod doesn't say it's breach of licence.
The 910 splash screens are a picture of a GO910 and closing is a green screen briefcase. From memory, I think the software updates added at least one of these, so I wonder what version software you've got - have you updated via TT Home recently? It may give you these.

Anyway, send me a PM with your e-mail address (DON'T post it on this thread or you'll get spammed to pieces as soon as the spammers pick up on it) and then I'll see if a Moderator says it's OK to send you the splash files.

Whilst waiting, try making a couple for yourself as I described above - they're much better - my splash is self and wife, suspend is wife with added text saying "Remember to take me with you", which is better than TT's briefcase picture.
