New to the forum, been reading a lot of the posts over past week or so, I hope some of you knowledgable types out there can help me beacuse I am close to suicide here!

I have an o2 XDA Mini s, have had it for about 3 months now, originally had tomtom 5 installed and working with my bluetooth gps no bother, everything was all ok, however over last weekend I had to hard reset the xda and since then when I install tomtom it goes theru the first setup procdure, you get to select a voice, you test the voice, slect next and nothing happens, at one point it was left on this screen for 30 mins, it appears as if the xda has crashed, however if I press the hang up key the tomtom screen disappears and takes me back to the main screen and lets me use the xda again no bother, but the small tomtom hands are still visible int eh bottom right corner.

I have tried everything, I upgraded to tomtom 5.21 from the tomtom site, I removed all the celeb voices i had in case maybe they were faulty, I have reinstalled about 6 times, even trying an install disk I got from a colleague but nothing seems to work.

Please help me before I throw myself off the nearest bridge.
Many thanks for any help.

p.s I do not install from a CD I install via the 5.21 exe from the tomtom wesbsite.


cheers again

yes - I had this problem too..... its down to the checking of running signed code - basically its waiting for you to ok the next bit.

There is a tweak program recently in the forums (registry tweaker?) that on the third tab has a way of disabling the signed code popup

ok found it it is a wizard, found a bit of info on a site somewhere.

anyway, i have installed the registry wizard, i have ticked the box on the third tab called "disable security warning non cert. app"
reinstalled tomtom, but i am still getting the same problem......as soon as i press select to confim selection of the jane voice it just stops, nowt happens.

quick update, I managed to get the tomtom to load, managed to pair the bluetooth gps, everything runs great now....except there are no sounds in tomtom whatsoever, the voices etc are there and can be selected but when I press test, nothing, there is also no sound for the poi either, can anyone shed any light on this problem


cheers

p.s all other sounds in the actual xda itself are working ok, so it must be a tomtom problem somewhere.

***SORTED***

U have to install tom tom and the maps voices etc, then go into tomtom, select the voice, then it asks you to activate, at this point exit out of tomtom, now copy the already activated tomtom.exe file over to the program files/navigator folder, overwrite the one thats there and hey presto tomtom now fully working.
