You can download an older Navcore for your 750 by clicking Here then use WinRar to extract the files from the download straight to the drive letter associated with your TomTom when its connected to the PC
There some other instructions on this web site detailing how to do this, if you are unsure about how to follow the above post back and I (or others) will try and find a link to the thread full of screen shots covering how to do this - Mike |

Thanks Mike, installed that still no live services but the screen is more responsive.
When I try to connect to live I get a different message now " To access this service you need to connect your device to TomTom Home "
I have tried this but still no access, just gives me the same message.
When I try and download the latest fuel prices when in Home I get an error message " TomTom has fuel prices for a location not on your map " and won't download it. |

A hopefully final update to my 750 LIVE issues. When I journeyed at the weekend I discovered that all of my PGPSW camera alerts were not sounding. So, yesterday I had to input all of them again, the camera locations obviously were there but I had "lost" the sound.
Fingers crossed that everything is now going to proceed flawlessly in the future.
Cheers, jack. |

I am still using 9.054 it find the initial connection to traffic takes ages compared to 9.026. I get the spinning circle for ages before traffic appears. I sometimes lose the connection and need a reboot to get traffic again.
Anyone else finding this with a x50 device and reverted back to 9.026? |

How long is ages?
When I switch on I get no traffic bar for about 20-25 seconds, then it takes about 1'30"-2'00" to download all the traffic reports. |

Quite often five minutes or so, sometimes quite a way into a journey and on the motorway and discover there was traffic and if I had waited for the traffic I probably would have discovered the fact.
I seem to have had quite a few occasions this week where the traffic works for a bit then back to the spinning disc.
Another unrelated thing I meant to ask was when I turn the device on and go straight to browse map the map appears in nice bright colours and after a short while the map goes to a gloomy grey and looks horrible. Is this the map before the map colour scheme kicks in. Would be nice to be able to show the map in the initial boot up colours. |

No, the horrible grey colour is intended and is the colour scheme used when Traffic is selected to show on the map.
If you go to the Options button at the bottom, you'll see Traffic is selected, which automatically de-selects POIs and Favourites etc.
Un-tick Traffic and everything goes back to normal.
TT keep playing about with when the map shows Traffic or not.
If you have a RDS-TMC mount it gets switched back to Traffic mode every single {swearword} time. |

Shame you can't have the nicer view showing traffic
Glad it's not just me that feels the need to swear at my TomTom from time to time  |
