Group: Forum Members Posts: 14, Visits: 28	Just replaced my PC with a Windows 8 laptop. Ive installed SD 2.6 and the most up to date Garmin usb drivers. Transferring route initially appeared to work ok however subsequent attempt dont. No error messages. SD just goes non-responding. Same with importing tracks. Problem seems to be any usb transfer after the first. Anyone able to help?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 14, Visits: 28	Ive just tried on Windows 7 and get the same problem as my windows 8 machine. First transfer works ok but PC appears to go non responding on second - mouse is responsive but cant get any applications to respond. Wait for about 15 mins and then I get and error message "Thread Exception Error". Once this is cleared I can transfer one more route, but again the PC goes non responding on second transfer attempt. I used to get the Thread Exception Error in XP for every second transfer however there was no period of non responding. So problems with Window 7 & 8. Is this unique to 296 or does it affect all Garmin devices? Skydemon, please please please look at this.
