David go to the link below and download the file....

...that will explain how to add a 'back-light' effect to the GPS screen but you may have to change the way you made the screen plane and the materials you used as both Robert and myself tried to do this for you already but the way you have the model set up at the moment won't work.

Hi David, I just tried to download the file but when I click on the download button (telecharger) it takes me to a log in screen instead.

Retry, I think is okay now !!

It works now.

EDIT: There appears to be a problem with your exe package David as it shuts down automatically after being open for a few seconds. It doesn't even give me time to navigate to the folder I want to unpack it to. I think a zip file may be a better option especially for non-French speakers like me.

Hello Tako_Kichi ;-)

It is possible to check the MD5 of the file, and look is the same of this 518874409E4A7375C00CCE546C65AAFE

Are you on Vista or Seven ? If yes, which level do you use on UAC (User Account Control) ?

Try with right click and select "Run As Administrator", to see is better.

I send (email) you a video how it's work, and a second exe file to try is better with.

I prefer today use a exe. If I can't correct this bug maybe I switch in a zip file, maybe :p

Sorry I don't have a MD5 checksum program installed at the moment so can't check the value of the exe file.

I am on Win 7 64 bit and always run as an Admin.

Try with right click and select "Run As Administrator", to see is better.

Tried that and it still timed out.

I did manage to get the new exe to complete the unpack process just once but nothing appeared on my desktop which is where I told it to unpack to.

The installer is still failing to complete and timing out before I can enter the location where I want it to unpack. I tried just clicking on the installer and running as an Admin, neither way worked.

I look to add "english" package on installer. Maybe this can resolve the problem. I hope !!
