Installed Tomtom at my SDcard. Recently evey now and then, tomtom starts up. It happens without me touching any buttons and while the phone is lying at the table. Anyone knows why this is and how to get rid of the problem?
Obviously, itīs quite annoying.... :evil:

I had this problem.
I had a folder on my SD card called 2577, in it was a file called autorun. Deleted it and the TomTom loading stopped.

Thanks! Will try that. Although I have two autorun. One that is called AutoRun.exe and one called autorun.exe-run

Erase both or just one of them?

Don't know ! To be safe do one at a time, seeing if it solves the problem, and save a copy elsewhere - just in case !

BTW - I think the autrun.exe -run is the same but with command line -run, but I'm no whizzo (or even close to one) on this stuff.
My feeling is delete both - but keep a copy !!

I renamed the .exe file to DANautorun .. that way, you don't delete it and forget about it.. if you need the file again, you can rename it back to the orginal name.

My tom tom hasn't started by itself since.
