Yes! all those items are in there but the Toc file doesn't have a program associated with it to open it, is that right?

The file should be called Western_Europe.toc.
Is it?

Follow these steps **carefully**
1. Insert the sdhc card in the TomTom and connect to the computer. Do NOT start Home.
2. Use Explorer to create a folder on the card called Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB
3. Extract all the contents of the Western & CE zip file into this folder.
4. Extract the contents (one file ending in .dct) of the activation map.cab folder into the Western & CE folder as well.
5. Make a complete Explorer, not Home, backup of the unit's contents (not the sd card ... yet). Make sure hidden files/folders are showing.
6. Delete the Western & CE map folder from the UNIT, not the card.
7. Disconnect the unit PROPERLY from the computer.
Start up the TomTom. Does it recognize the map?
Tap the satellite bars to see the version number of the application installed. Now, tap the version number to see the map installed and the version. It should show the NEW map. Does it?
If so, make a complete Explorer backup of the sdhc card to a different folder.

With the card in the unit and the unit connected to the computer, Explorer should show two additional drives when you click on My Computer in the left pane.
They should be under the section called Devices with Removable Storage in the right pane.
The one with the lower of the two letters is probably the sdhc card. Double click on it. It should be empty.
Now at the top of Explorer, File-->New-->Folder and give it precisely the name I mentioned.

Are you sure?
Do you have a card reader to put the sdhc card in? If so, insert the sdhc card in the reader, insert the reader in a usb port and carry on from there.
What kind of sdhc card did you buy?
