No voices in TomTom 6

---

Hi folks,

Just got my Ameo, and am thrilled with it, just getting mildly frustrated with TT6. I copied all the files over to the MicroDrive and ran the cabs, installed to Device (also tried Microdrive) and ran TT. However, although the program seems to be working great, it won't see any voices installed. Any ideas? The Voices directory is in the same place as all the other TomTom files i.e. the root directory of the Microdrive. Thanks!

I found this problem initially - I think I ended up having to reinstall the cab with the voices in to get it working. Mine are now in \MicroDrive2\Voices
Either that, or a complete uninstall/reinstall did the trick.

N.B, I don't have two microdrives, WM5 got a bit confused and I think WM5torage didn't unload itself properly or something like that, and renamed the drive as 2. I've seen it before with SD Cards.

Thanks - on your advice managed to dig out my old copy of TT 4.4 as I knew it had separate cab files for voices. Installed the right one and Jane was happily talking to me again Thanks for the input! Shame it won't pick up all my other voices tho - I don't have a voices cab for TT6.

Ahh, I use the Auzzie Guy, just wish he used 'Mate' and 'Golar' and 'Barbie' and the like. I think the first "build" I used wasn't complete , but a second "downloaded build" did . Its v6.010 that I'm currently running.

had the same problem...

i found i had the same problem, this is what i did;

1- there is a voices directory on your phones memory, program files, navigator, voices, try copyin them from your microdrive to your phone memory

or

2- when you go to the voices section in the tomtom application, when it asks to 'only show english voices' select no.

my john cleese and yoda voices now appear, hope this helps.

There are two type of installations.

1. Tou have the SD card installation version and
2. You have the PC installation version.

From TT 6 and upwards the PC installation version is disapearing. This version needed to see the voice files properly installaed. It used the registry to find the files. For this version you need to install the voice cabs form the source disks.

The SD card version looks at your storage card and searches for the voices directory. When this directory is there and you cannot see te voice files, delete the collected.ini file. When you start up TT again it will search for voice files.

Still there is a possibility you cannot see them. I had this probem because I have an miniSD card in my devices. I noticed that TT had made several directories on the card including the voices directory with the file collected.ini. Throwing away the TT directories on my miniSD card solved my problem.

My microdrive has also ended up as MicroDrive2, stopping all my programs I installed on the Microdrive working.

I have never used WM5Storage.

Its a tad annoying as I guess all I can do is reinstall all my programs again.

I don't think you need to reinstall your programs. Try doing a soft reset. I have encountered the Microdrive2 thing before (but not because of WM5Storage), and a soft reset restored everything back to normal.
