Symptom
Every time you launch the TOPO! Explorer application from the Windows Shortcut (likely placed in your start menu) the application prompts you that a new version is available, launches an installer, and prompts you to insert a disc to continue. This problem has only been found with users that have installed the TOPO! Explorer application that came included in a retail box. This problem has not been found with those that originally installed the TOPO! Explorer application as a download. The problem only pertains to Windows.
The Issue

Step-by-Step
1. Browse your Windows Start menu and locate the TOPO! Explorer icon/shortcut, that you normally use to launch the application.

3. To create a new shortcut ... Browse to your C:Drive/ Program Files/ TOPO! Explorer folder.
4. Locate the application "TOPOexplorer", right-click and choose "Create Shortcut". NOTE: do not create a shortcut to the application "TE" - this will result in later problems.
