Install fails with TT3 on Viewsonic, just freezes device.

Well I tried to install the voice files from the disc with no success. It says none were loaded.

Also I have no TT on the today screen and a different icon in the start menu......... does that matter?

Yes, voices are separate - you can install the ones from the CD

Not all is lost. Have a look at my article wher I describe the required registry settings.

How did the activation go?

fyi

The only folder I have in that Tom Tom folder in the picture is a Maps folder....... no Voice.
If I create one I still can't see it.

Again, let's do this slowly

You need to perform two steps
1) install the voice CAB and note down into what directory it installed. For example, I manually installed mine into \Storage Card\Navigator\USAC (for USA Computer Voice)

2) using a registry editor, verify that the following branch exists

\HKCU\Software\TomTom\TomTom Navigator\Voice

If not, create the key.

Then verifiy that within this key there is a string value called LastInstalled that points to the location where you installed your voice file to.

I also noticed that it isn't the full new version I don't think. The screenshots from their website and the reviews are different than what is running on my device a little....... I have the new icons. But when in 3D view there is no street names showing....... also when in Navi mode I have the old bottom portion, not the new one

I don't have this.......

I have the one with the old bottom.
I also don't have the new TT logo on the today screen, or in the Programs list..... I have the old logo in the list.

Is it different because I am in the US? Or did the install not go correctly?

thanks much!

I also have the old Map view...........

Not this one......

also...... don't have this

I have the old properties type menu. Black writting on white text.

The only thing that seems different are the large icons from the previous version I had.

You are installing TomTom Navigator 3. The screenshots you show are from TomTom Navigator 4 (or 2004, as they call it). I did warn you before that TTN3 will be of not much use to you if you only have the 2.24 maps.

As for the voice files

- find the CAB on the CD, or get one from the web
- copy it to the Pocket PC
- run it
- then verify the registry and adjust it if necessary.
