  Thanks Lochfrass!
  
  I am using a Via 130M.
  
  I noticed that the site MDC tried to connect to was in fact:
  http://www.pcmi.com/?locale=fr_fr (I am in France).
  
  I tried your http://169.254.255.1/pcmi/?locale=en_gb (after getting to my problem site) and that worked OK.
  
  So I can now do all the jobs I needed to do.
  But I have no idea what has happened or how to permanently correct things so I don't have to manually enter http://169.254.255.1/pcmi/?locale=en_gb every time.
  (of course I can bookmark that so I don't actually have to enter it)
  
  So any further explanations or suggestions would still be welcome!
  
  Thanks again!

  Well - I checked my version of MDC (4.2.4.3691) then uninstalled it.
  I installed a fresh version from TomTom site (4.1.7.3376).
  
  With this older fresh version, access to "Manage Community Content" was OK.
  
  I then had to update MDC & found myself again with 4.2.4.3691.
  Again I was UNABLE to access "Manage Community Content".
  
  So I conclude there is a bug in 4.2.2.3691....

  Hi all
  
  @2CV67
  
  The MDC version 4.1.7.3376 is for PCs with Windows XP, it isn't suitable for W 7 SP1, W8.1 or W10. I assume you took it on the French support page which isn't properly updated.
  With no guarantee of results, you can try to reinstall the last version MDC with a clean copy and the right version for your OS.
  
  With your device Not connected to the PC:
  1/ Uninstall MDC, accept the removal of downloads in the popup.
  2/ Restart of your PC (Not Shut down or Sleep)
  3/ Download and install the last version MDC 4.2.4.3691, take it here, the installation will be in the language of your PC:
  - On this page, at the bottom, the green button "Download for Windows®":
  https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/mydrive-connect/
  Or here directly from TomTom official servers:
  http://cdn.sa.services.tomtom.com/static/sa/Windows/InstallTomTomMyDriveConnect.exe
  
  If it doesn't work, the direct French link:
  http://169.254.255.1/pcmi/?locale=fr_fr
  
  Regards.

  Thanks Lochfrass & LAURE123 for your help!
  
  I just did exactly as LAURE123 said - installing from https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/mydrive-connect/ what looked like the same old MDC 4.2.4.3691 and this time it works OK.
  
  Consider this SOLVED.
  
  Thanks again (both)!
