Thanks, Andy. Unfortunately, this does not seem to work either. It is a
.reg file which does not give the option of running as Administrator. I
wrote a .bat file to run it, which I can run as Administrator, but still
no joy.
Running it direct does create a new set of entries under
HKLM/Software/Garmin (which wasn't there before), but running it through
the .bat file does not.
