Files in Western Europe Map directory as follows:

cline cname cnode faces tmccodes traffic

Western_Europe.mms

Western_Europe.pna

together with several downloaded POI files (no speed camera files)

You are missing mapinfo.dat. What does the *.PNA file say? (open with notepad)

Thanks for the info - cant check the missing files until I get home.

If I am missing the mapinfo.dat file, have you any suggestions??

Have now checked the *.PNA file.........

ID=Western_Europe.pna

568

Is that helpful????

Firstly, make a search for mapinfo.dat on your system - it's about 21MB, have a look in your backup folder

Checked for mapinfo.dat in tomtom backup - not there...............

methinks if you replace this file, everything should be back to normal. I suppose you can get it from any other WE map with same version (5.68)
