What map is installed on your TT? and what SafetyCam database are you downloading?

P.S If this is your first time, I hope you have already made a back-up of your TT by using WindowsExplorer and not TomTom Home.
If you have not, do it now and report back afterwards.

Try downloading again, yours might have got corrupted somehow.
I just tried downloading the same version as you did - TomTom .ov2 "consolidated by type" and this is the contents of the zip archive once "un-zipped":
_Need_Help.htm
Licence.txt
licence_X2_icons.txt
pocketgps_uk_gatso.bmp
pocketgps_uk_gatso.ov2
pocketgps_uk_gatso_X2.bmp
pocketgps_uk_mobile.bmp
pocketgps_uk_mobile.ov2
pocketgps_uk_mobile_X2.bmp
pocketgps_uk_pmobile.bmp
pocketgps_uk_pmobile.ov2
pocketgps_uk_pmobile_X2.bmp
pocketgps_uk_redlight.bmp
pocketgps_uk_redlight.ov2
pocketgps_uk_redlight_X2.bmp
pocketgps_uk_specs.bmp
pocketgps_uk_specs.ov2
pocketgps_uk_specs_X2.bmp
Release.txt
.... so all the .bmps are there.
You should be able to just drag EVERYTHING across into your named map folder (Western Europe, Great Britain or whatever)
The optional .bmps with "X2" in the names are to give a slightly better quality large icon when it flashes up in the corner of the scree as you approach. |

Now ive dowloaded and unzipped but can't find the speed cameras in my POI even though ive dragged and dropped - when i go in to tomtom home there are about 100 thinsg to install - is that right?!
Safety Cameras IT TomTom (Autoveloxit 70 tomtom) is one of the options.... |

baintor, sorry I do not use TomTom Home but I think TT Home does not "see" tthe PGPSW database SafetyCams.
Using WindowsExplorer, Find the unzipped PGPSW files and copy&paste them directly into the folder which contains your "Great_Britain-Map" (sic) on your TomTom.

You don't use TT HOME to install the cameras.
Un-zip the file you downloaded from PGPSW to a folder on your main pc. Then select all the files and Copy them.
Connect your ONE to your PC. Then it should be shown as a Removable Disk on your PC. Double click the drive then look for your map folder, open the folder and then Paste the files into it.
Now use the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the taskbar of your PC to disconnect your ONE from your PC.
You can them use the menus on your ONE to set the distances etc  |
