Unable to open WebUpdater

 

I need help! This morning I can't open my WebUpdater, it prompted "unable to create a temporary folder to extract to." The same goes for my POILoader and USBDrive. I have Window Vista, using WinZip Self-Extractor. Please help. Thanks! ( I have no problem before )

Did you create a user account that lacks permissions to create files?

I am not sure, please tell me how can I find out and how to correct it? I was fine just 2 days ago. I never changed anything...

are you sure...

...that you aren't double clicking the original installation file, instead of the webupdater app?

Sorry

Sorry that's not my forte any more. I got left behind in that arena around WINDOWS 95.

Peter, instead of double-clicking something on your desktop, what happens if you click:

Start/AllPrograms/Garmin/WebUpdater
or
Start/AllPrograms/Garmin/POILoader

Reinstall

I deleted my old WebUpdater, and reinstall it. It's working fine now, but I when I try do the same to the POILoader and USBDiver..I still can't open them..
