Patch, what does what?

Sorry to ask a really daft question, tried applying the patch and I seem to get a lock up.
I have a CF gps and really only want to update that driver as it takes ages to lock and then is flakey.
Is there a way to just update this?
I notice that it asks to reinstall/update several things when you run the patch, today, and a couple of others, I wonder if I could choose just the one needed then I would not need to reinstall whole thing, alternatively install patch copy the updated drivers and then reinstall original version and copy back the updated drivers.
I hope this all makes sense?

Thanks
Dave

Had the same problem with lock ups. Took four attempts before it installed properly.
So TomTom can't even get the damn patch right, what a bunch of jokers Crying or Very sad

Download the zip version of the update, not the .exe version.
Unzip it/extract the files.
Open up the file called nvapp and then the file called app. They're in there if I'm correct.

What is the driver called and where can I find it?
I can then install the update copy the driver, reinstall the version 5 and copy the driver back.

Thanks
Dave
