OK, I have to admit defeat here and it's not a Mac V Pc thing, I simply don't know what I'm doing. I'd really appreciate some guidance on getting MM up and running. Well up and stable actually.
Some background:
I'm running Windows Starter on an e-machines net book. 1.66 hz and 2gb ram (I stuck some extra in)
I have a Global Sat BU 353 usb reciever
Loads and loads of MM files and things
I have the GPS recognised and it most certainly has plotted my position. But he GPS info tool that comes with it simply will not work. This gives you GPS info without any mapping. It's a little stand alone app I guess. Gives sat position, signal strength etc.
I have loaded MM and found a local map, had my position plotted and moving - but after about a minute it stops working and freezes. It is impossible to clear. I have tried everything. You simply cannot quit. It's a restart every time.
I seem to have at least three version of memory map and have tried loading each of them. I get different result each time and frankly I don't understand half the error message that I get.
So if there is anyone who could PM me through the right sequence, versions, files etc to get me running reliably, I would be hugely appreciative. I have un-installed a couple of times too. I don't have a DVD drive, CD so I had to copy the DVDs to my Mac then onto a stick and transfer them to the PC - but that all went fine.
I have an old Gobal Sat blue-tooth receiver which I connected with a little BT dongle thing and that did seem to work originally. It was in the fire so is a bit messed up and doesn't hold a charge like it should hence the new GPS.
So like I say - if anyone has the time and inclination, I'd appreciate it. I don't understand why it works then freezes. I have had it working continuously at the start.

Yes, I have tried removing, reinstalling etc. That's the point at which I need help 'cos just doing the same thing over and over is pathetic but all I can manage. The GPS is functioning perfectly well. Autoroute starts, stops, sleeps, wakes up, plots, calculates and even tucks me in at night. But MM is giving me the heave-ho.
