Kinda depends which version (1.1 or 1.2), where you got it from, and what the data.zip for what you have supports as far as resolution goes. Sometimes, the resolution settings for a Nav program in a D-Din, are not what you think it might be.
Post the contents of the sys.txt you are using.

Thank you so much for the fastest response, I have tried almost all version of primo but no one success, version 1.1 is worse for my double din, it will reboot the device after shown logo, I have tried to change the sys.txt also but never been success. We put the right data.zip (800x480pixels).
Now, I have been trying version 1.2 but hasn't succeed either. hihihi..... any idea?

Do you have the right maps!
If there is mapchanger as extras, and is set to the TA and you have NQ maps crashes Primo.
Similarly set to NQ but TA maps.

Yes there is a possibility but it is possible to prevent the master mute completely and with single-click mute only Guidance sound?

Sorry, but how do you expect us to help?
We are not clairvoyant and can see from the other end of the world what is your device and what are its specifications.


Anyway, from another thread:

2Din come in many variations. Those devices are often capable of playing video in a higher resolution than used for navigation.
Example: 800*480 for playing movies and 320*240 for gps purposes.
In their advertising, manufacturers will underline the 800*480 resolution and often not mention GPS runs only at 320*240. But it's the 320*240 prebuild you need in this example.
If you are not sure of your GPS resolution, we have a solution. In fact, we recommend you use it, EVEN IF YOU ARE SURE !!
2Din Resolution Finder - thanks to Yoff's, credit goes also to Xtyler92, who made this program.

This is a small application that you will launch like any other navigation program on your 2Din unit. First make note of what your 2Din calls the SD card slot. Then download the version that matches what your device calls the SD card:


[Please Register or Login to download file]

[Please Register or Login to download file]

[Please Register or Login to download file]



Unrar the download and copy the Resolution Tester folder to your SD card. Then change the path for the navigation button on your device to launch the ResolutionTester.exe in the Resolution Tester folder. Now launch it using the Navigation button on your device. The first resolution you will see is 320x240. If it doesn't look right, hit the next button. Continue to do so until you find the resolution that looks right on your screen. Once you do, make note of the resolution and then hit the red circle button with the white "X" to exit the program. From there delete the Resolution Tester folder off your SD card and proceed to download igo8 for the resolution your device uses.
IMPORTANT:

On Windows CE6, an error may occur (error#2).
Thanks to Osprey, there is a solution:
Hi.
With regards to your post in the "2Din" thread, a much easier and less error-prone way of determining the screen's resolution is to use MortScript, as I did to find out my resolution. It doesn't matter what the SD card is named and it can tell you exactly what the resolution is (so no cycling through images and making a judgment about which one looks better). It also ought to work on CE6.

In case you're interested,[Please Register or Login to download file] it is, packaged for people to download ([Please Register or Login to download file] )

All that this program does is put a message up on the screen that says "Device resolution: ", followed by the detected resolution (ex. "480x272" for me).

Feel free to add it to your post, if you'd like. If you do, instructions are identical to what you already have posted (since I named the folder and executable the same).

-Osprey
And what if the cause is lack of memory or something else?
I have no memory tester to download. We need more information.


Another question: what happens if you do NOT change the language?

Another question, TMC hardware is not present on my device.
I have TomTom external TMC hardware with USB connection.
Is there any software / drivers that can make possible that TomTom (or other) TMC can be used?

You want a TomTom add-on device (from a system that is not Windows-based) to work with other than TomTom software on a device that is Windows based?
I would guess that the chances of that are slim to none. With the emphasis on none.
There are other USB-based external TMC dongles available, but there are two issues:
1) Will they work with your device?
2) Will Primo (or iGO 8) be able to recognize and use them?
Google is your friend, I guess. There is no way that I would recommend the purchase of a hardware add-on without knowing for sure the answer to those two questions.

I think for double din, the resolution screen is not only the problem, it has different storage name, because my iGO8 is good and running perfectly, but primo, it's always exit after choose language, I have never been succeed to run primo till now, almost all primo version had been tested.

any idea all the expert?

OK then, you are relatively sure it is not a resolution problem. Then, while not knowing anything about your device (you don't know, or won't say), I will guess that it's a RAM memory issue--as in not enough. Primo has much higher memory requirements than iGO 8.
I have other guesses too....in case this one is wrong. I can go on guessing all day. Or all month.

Thanks Yurbuh,

ok well, my device is chinese double din, no brand at all, com 1, port 9600, storage name: StorageCard, Windows CE 6, RAM 128MB, internal memory name is: NandFlash.
I have tested iGO8 and running perfectly, but failed on primo....hihi:girl_cray:

That's better...now we have something to work with. My next guess (I have 18 more, right?) is that something in sys.txt is not right. Of course, it would be helpful to know what you do have in sys.txt, but this is unknown by me, so I will just say "something". Maybe it would be instantly recognizable as incorrect, maybe not. So you have two choices:
1) Post the entire text contents of your sys.txt here.
2) Edit sys.txt and remove everything--just leave a blank file-- and let Primo try to determine the correct settings. It's often quite good at this. For this to work, you should have a data.zip with 3 different resolutions in it--not just one.
