Unable to connect to Tomtom website

[RQ]

For about 6 weeks I have been unable to connect via Tomtom Home to the Tomtom website. (Is that such a bad thing?)

I have re-loaded the Tomtom Home software many times having very carefully uninstalled all remnants of it - even clearing the registry. All to no avail.

I am running Windows XP, use Internet Explorer and also use Zonealarm.

Prior to 6 weeks ago everything worked fine and then it stopped working. Obviously something has changed but nothing deliberatley so I suspect an automatic update has modified something.

I have a TT700 on 6.15.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

Welcome to the club - it's not that very exclusive, but hey. TT support refuse to admit there is any problem; what a surprise!

I find that any version of Home after 1.2 doesn't work properly; 1.30.30 seemed to work but intermitently, so a I gave up on that; . ANY later versions simply won't connect for me. Bet they've put something "nasty" into the code.

Binman,

I did not mention first time around that I had another computer running Win 2000 previously when it first failed. The computer was a bit slow and needed replacing and I got hold of a new box. And still the problem.

I assume by system restore - you mean the computer and not the TT.. I can give it a go but don't hold out much hope.

I have honestly tried all reasonable things - I just wonder whether there is something on the TT or that gest written into the TT home directory.

Henry G,

I think I have an older version of home and will try that.

Both of you - thanks for your replies. I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks
