760 and 265W not recognizing Traffic Saftey Alerts

I have a 760 and 265W that since updating all the north american traffic safety alerts and reloading them into the 2 units, do not recognize or announce any of them any more as they did before. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be and how to remedy it?

Proximity Alerts turned on?

Do you have your Proximity Alerts turned on? On my Garmin, the 1490, it is under Tools > settings > Proximity Points.

Proximity Alerts - Turn the alerts on or off when you approach custom POIs or safety cameras.

760 and 265W traffic allerts not functioning

The alerts are all turned on. It appears to be something else and I don't know how to determine what it is. They all worked before but since the 760 froze up last week and I had to do a hard reset, they ceased to function. I tried reinstalling the POI's a couple of times still to no avail. The traffic alerts are new to the 265W so I don't know what the issue could be there either.

Would one corrupted file out of the 1000's that are there cause them all to quit working? If so, how could it be found?

Any ideas?

ALERTS

Maybe a silly question, but, did you remember to load the sound files as well as the POI's ? If you forgot the .mp3 or .wav files, "no sound" :lol:

All three files are loaded (.bmp, .gpx, .mp3, and in the case of the 265W, .wav instead of .mp3).
