I have a few files in the \Western_Europe dir.
cline.dat, cname.dat,cnode.dat plus a few others that will not copy, either with a file manager or with tomtom backup.
Anyone have any answers to this

To Partially answer my own question this only happens in win vista. I connected tomtom to my older win xp machine an it copies no problem.
Once again a problem with the dreaded Vista

Vista has a lot of quirks, the forthcoming SP1/SR1 maybe parses some of them. I try to live in home without it as far as I can (I have used it in my work almost a year).

For some reason, TomTom HOME does miss files, thats why you should do a FULL WINDOWS EXPLORER backup. Look here, Number 1.

I have Vista, and I do a TomTom HOME update, Update the PGPSW camera database, TomTom HOME backup, then finally, a windows explorer backup. The files you mentioned, are all in my windows explorer backup.

Be careful with them too...
cline.dat, cname.dat,cnode.dat (and faces.dat) ARE your map. They are about the most important files you have on your TomTom!

NOT looking forward to the day I have to start grappling with Vista...

Thanks for that Andy I was wondering whether to delete them and then try to put them back from an old backup. as I said in my last post i only get this with vista, i have now burnt an up to date backup onto a cd from my other computer. XP
Funny thing is I can copy these same files from that cd onto any dir on the vista computer, so its a vista tomtom thing. I haven't tried to put them back onto tomtom dir though Wink
I did a google and found that others have the same problems with camers, but no-one had an answer
