EventwakeupTomTom error help.

I keep getting a "Cannot execute \\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\EventWakeUpTomom" notification error which is getting on my nerves. I've upgraded from TTN2 to TTN5 and wondered if others have had this or am I just missing a file (or folder Rolling Eyes

) that TomTom needs to work correctly?

use check_notifications.exe to get rid of that event. Careful, don't delete any other events!!!

I also keep getting the message as above. This happens if i switch off the ipaq with TomTom still running then switch it back on.

Can you elaborate please on the check_notification.exe fix for the error message.

check_notifications is a utility that allows you to look into the events database and remove items from it.

You can get it from here.

it's an ARM executable - needs to be copied to the PDA and run there. Be VERY careful not to delete other events.

I've done as advised but the error notification keeps coming back every time I switch the Ipaq back on.

If I exit TomTom before powering off the Ipaq then it's fine. As before, the error only happens if the Ipaq if switched off with TomTom still running.

Any ideas???

It's still happening on mine and whats worse, it seems to be killing my battery for some reason - when charging, even without tomtom running (I've check the running programs screen) this event pops up and turns on the screen - I think it might be doing it at other times as my battery normally lasts nearly 2 weeks and its lasted 4 days since I installed TTN5 Rolling Eyes

There must be some way to kill the program that generates this - that notification program only removes the notification, not the cause.

Any ideas?

I've emailed TomTom to see if they can come up with a fix.

The TomTom offical response

The Naviagtor software should be exited with the "Exit application" everytime as not closing properly can cause connection problems with e GPS devioce yo are using . Please exit properly every time .

With best regards,

The TomTom Customer Support Team

What a lot of C**P. Never had a problem with TT3, could turn the Ipaq on and off with TT3 running without any problems what so ever.
It seems TomTom support is lacking, much like its products.

Did anyone on this forum give any feedback regarding any of the changes in TT5 i.e unable to customise menus etc

I don't understand Sad

When TTN5 is running I cannot get back to the check_notifications application to delete it, and when TTN5 is not running it does not appear in the list.

Where am I going wrong?

Cheers
Paul

Stuart,

Thanks for this.
I am trying to get used to stopping TTN5 when I leave the car, rather then just switching the pda off. It makes it slower to setup a route when I get back in the car.

Cheers
Paul

Sorry to ask a silly Q - where can I find check_notifications.exe on my PDA? - Pocket PC

Thanks
