My computer can not find driver to install TomTom Home

I just got my TomTom One 125 today and it works great on a trip back home. It was a Christmas gift from my family who all use the TomTom One 125 GPS devices

    my computer can not find a driver to install tom tom home problem for xp window. thanks

  • Anonymous Jan 06, 2009

    I download the TomTom Home exe file on to my XP Home Addition PC. But when I 2x click, the hour glass icon appears for about 2 seconds and nothing ever happens after that. Only thing I see after hunting around is that a TomTom file generated in the PREFETCH directory.



    At my library it works. Library uses XP V 5.1 Service pack 3.



    I assume this is the driver problem?

I am the original poster, rdsrds2, and after 4 go arounds with TomTom tech support I finally got someone who knew exactly what to do. My problem is solved. Some of the other solutions posted here may be equally valid. To all who are having installation problems, here is the download you want:

I had the same problem. Home version 2.5 absolutely would not install. Finally after reading through several message boards, I found that if you download the previous version of home 2.2xxx---it will install and then it automatically upgrades to 2.5. This worked for me. Support at TomTom couldn't even help me but this did work. I hope this helps.

    I also found that not having net framework installed could be the problem. Even though installing the version 2.2xxx worked. I installed net framework on another computer and the 2.5 home version started installing right away. This is probably the fix instead of trying to hunt around for the older version of home--which is not easy, Betty

    By the way I forgot to mention that I found these possible solutions from another message board.

I have a TomTom One 125 and can't seem to find some voice downloads I installed, yet they show that they are installed on my devise when I connect to TomTom Home & look under the "manage my...

What language were they listed under when you download them? I download some English speaking voices but some were from the UK, some were from Africa. The point is when I was choosing languages to play back from the device I received a question similar to do you only want to show English languages. If I answered no then I browse the other languages and play them.

Register my tomtom

To update your unit you must create an account by supplying a valid email address. I suppose this is akin to a registration.
To effect that you install the Tomtom Home software on your computer. Then you connect the unit to the computer. When it asks you if you want to connect to the computer, tap Yes and the HOME software will open allowing you to update maps etc. You will be asked to create an account.

Tom Tom suddenly won't turn on. It is 2 years old. Has worked with no problem. Battery continually charged as I drive. Used re-set button to no avail. Need today for a trip!

plug it in to the usb cable to your computer for a few hours, then press and hold the power button for up to 15 seconds or untill it starts.

after it starts run tomtom home and get the latest updates for it.

if you do not have tomtom home, you can get it HERE just follow the directions after you download and install it on your computer.

I live in Michigan and set up my tomtom. I'll be going on a trip to canada in a few weeks and wanted to see how it worked. When I try to set up a route from home to the hotel where I'll be staying in...

By default, the TomTom ONE 125 does not include maps of Canada. You can do one of two things:

1. If you just purchased it and can take it back, buy a TomTom ONE 130. It includes Canada maps and usually is only about $10-20 more.

2. Use the TomTom Home software (the same one that you use to update the TomTom and add voices, etc) and purchase the maps for it. I'm not sure how much they are, but certainly less than a new GPS.

Hope this helps!

My tomtom 125 won't install. When it turns on, the only screen it shows is a picture of the tom tom with a red circle with a white X in it. It seems to have install in tomtom home however.

At tomtom.com I found a link to download the new version of tomtom home. For some reason when I plugged in my tomtom to my computer it wanted to download an old version of home and that would not install the applications to my tomtom. After downloading the new version of tomtom home everything worked fine.

Error code with softward

Hi Guys,

If you are using tomtom home 1.5 and also have tomtom home 2.5 installed, you will need to remove one of the versions of home from your computer because both versions of home use the same folder tomtom that is stored in my documents.

If you are using the tomtom go720 device, uninstall tomtom home (without the number 2 at the end)

tomtom home 1.5 with the options menu on the left hand side is not needed for your device since it has been for PDA use only.

Hope this helps

Thanks,
Pabs

ERROR: 573/#https://home.tomtom.com/shop/onetimeDeviceUpdates: Error from server: You have an invalid version of the TomTom application installed on your TomTom device. To use HOME you need to install the...

Go to My Computer, then the TomTom drive and click explore. Move your Map folder to the desktop. Then, delete everything on the tomtom drive. Unplug it, plug it back in, and start up Tomtom HOME and install all updates, keep unplugging, plugging back in, and installing updates until there aren't any more updates. Then move your map folder back to where it was on your TomTom drive.

Please rate, Thank you!

Go 730 stopped working immediately after installing TomTom Home

I have found a solution to this problem by quick-formatting the device and reinstalling the TT Home this time declining the update to a higher version (just in case).

For the faint-hearted, like myself, in the absence of a working backup I recommend copying BEFOREHAND all files from TT Go to an empty folder in your computer (using Windows not TT Home). This way if you do not succeed at least you can go back to the position before the format.
