My 910 has been behaving itself very well lately but I`ve noticed that when I open the "my computer" window on the desktop, the icon ( drive K tomtom go) has disappeared which will make alterations through windows ( as opposed to using home) a wee bit tricky. Are there any comp whizz kids out there who can tell me how to get the comp to see the TT and show its icon ? The device is recognised by the comp and home , and also system scanning progs and device manager. It just doesn`t show up in the drives window.

Are you sure non of the drive letters that show up with it connected to the PC are associated with the device? It could be that just the drive icon file has gone AWOL so you don't get to see the tiny red hands next to the 910's drive letter - Mike

Check the PC's Device manager for any conflicts.

There are some suggestions on the TT website here:
Device not recognised by computer
Your device does not appear in My Computer (Windows)
?

Thanks Andy. Followed the link and instructions but still to no avail.
Not a big problem but an irritation as I prefer to file handle using windows.... Hey Ho

Problem solved.... I was messing about with an old copy of tuneup utilities /system control and I saw an option for which drives I wanted shown and there was my old "K:" drive ( my TT) with its box unticked,, ticked it and job done. I`m sure windows must have a similar utility but I don`t know the name of it.
