+sk8rdi16 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Ok, just got the Topo software, not the 24K, but the normal. I loaded the 'program' from the Topo West CD. I then tried to look at the detailed map of the East (MS). It asks for the CD!? It is already in!! So I go ahead and click yes. Ask again, So I was going to try the West, No go. When I click cancel, it gives me an Error, and Mapsource quits. Tried Hawaii, It WORKED! So I tried the East and West again on another Mapsource equipped PC, It worked fine for ALL. I guess it is something wrong with my Mapsource install?? I have email Garmin about it. Any suggestions until they respond?? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment

Team GeoHoy Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 (edited) If you have a burnt copy, it does that. I know from experience and raked the cabbage together to buy it myself. The real version works. For some reason the 2nd does not work if it was burnt. I reported the errors to Garmin and they emailed me very detailed instructions, still didn't work. Go to amazon.com and buy a copy, highly recommended. I paid $87.49 with the shipping, got it in 4 days max. Great program too. Edited March 31, 2004 by Team GeoHoy Quote Link to comment
+GOT GPS? Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Cannot install the old Mapsource Topo on your existing Mapsourse Installation. I did and corrupted my Mapsource. UNINSTALL Mapsource Completely then Install the TOPO then any newer Mapping. Never install old Mapping on a currently Updated Mapsorce, where the Mapsource SHELL is now Version 5.4. If you do try to install the TOPO, you will corrupt the current Version 5.4. It wont work. Fortunatly I had my UNLOCKS written down, then started over. Quote Link to comment
+sk8rdi16 Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 Response from Garmin: Thank you for contacting Garmin International, I will be happy to assist you with that. This error is usually caused by some type of conflict with another program. My recommendation is to uninstall the software and then reinstall to a separate destination directory. I also recommend going into the registry and deleting the GARMIN key in the registry. 1. Go to the start menu in windows 2. Select the settings and then select the control panel. 3. In the control panel double click on the icon for ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS. 4. Select MapSource in the uninstall window. The software will ask to if you wish to uninstall all the components, answer YES to this option. 5. Select the Start key to the run option. In the run window type in < regedit > and enter. In the registry editor, you need to be very careful and please follow these steps precisely. a. Select the (+) next to the folder stating HKEY_CURRENT_USER b. In this view select the (+) next to SOFTWARE, when you click on this it will open your registry further. c. In the SOFTWARE view you will see a series of folders, one will be GARMIN. Highlight the word GARMIN and press the delete key. It will ask for confirmation of deletion. Make sure that the word GARMIN is the only key highlighted. Press on the (-) signs to contract the expansion. d. Repeat the same process for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. It may not be in this registry. 6. Shut down your system as normal and then let the system set for about 30 seconds and then start up your computer. 7. Reinstall the software. It will ask for the destination folder, if the setting is the C:\Program Files and so forth, click on the browse option and type in a different destination folder. C:\Garmin. This folder will not exist, but the option to create it will follow. Select OK. 8. Reboot after finishing your installation allowing the software to rest in the destination folder. 9. After you reinstall, I recommend that you upgrade your operating software to the latest version of the MapSource operating system I am in the process of trying this. Hope it works!! Hope this also helps others. Quote Link to comment

+sk8rdi16 Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 I have uninstalled every mapsource product, reinstalled only the Topo, upgraded to v5.4, loaded the Topo Basemap Patch. Still get an error, I am going to try to load the disc onto the hard drive. See if I get any luck. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment
+Stem Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 (edited) Using regedit can be dangerous if you do not know what you are doing, or are careless. It is entirely possible to make a mistake while editing your registry, and have to format and reinstall your OS. If you do edit your registry, take your time and carefully follow their instructions. As long as you do what their instructions say, you should be fine. Personaly I would uninstall/reinstall w/o doing regedit first, to see if that works. If not, then go ahead and edit your registry.

+sk8rdi16 Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 Well, IT WORKS!! Thanks all for the responses!! I believe my problem was with the CD/DVD drive! I was able to transfer the entire East CD to the hard drive via a USB CD drive. Edit the Registry as others have done, now it works fine from the hard drive!!! Thanks again!! Quote Link to comment

I had same problem with topo east since using Windows XP. That patch worked for anyone else having problems with topo east. Quote Link to comment
