You could also check the settings on the macro. Maybe when you chose the
new unit it put all the settings back to the defaults which, if I
remember correctly, are quite basic. Just a thought.

Before going further, let me ask some stupid questions. When you
attach the Nuvi to the newer PC (the one that fails), does the Nuvi go
into "computer connection" mode? Or does it stay in "navigation"
mode? And does it behave the same way on the XP machine? And you are
using the 1250 cable with the 1250 and the 50 cable with the 40?
Finally, is it the same version of the macro on both machines?
The only likely variable I can think of is that XP (without at least
Windows Media Player 10) likely forces the unit into being a removable
USB drive. Newer Windows versions support MTP (media transfer
protocol), which is a different way of accessing files on a removable
device. I can't imagine why this would matter for delivering a POI
file. But if you want to experiment, you can force the Nuvi into
using the old-style USB interface all the time. Bring up the volume
screen on the Nuvi. Tap and hold in the upper right corner for as
long as it takes. (I realize there is no icon there.) This will
bring up the developer menu. Look for MTP settings and change it to
"mass storage" or words to that effect. I really have a hard time
believing this matters. And I certainly didn't have to do it for the
2555. But I'm having a hard time coming up with any other obvious
differences between XP and newer systems. At least, any differences
that are not hardware-related.

Here's the next installment of my Nuvi issue. I took out my "old"
netbook running XP.
Hooked my 1250 up to it and it loaded fine. All information GC #,
name, description, hints, logs were there.
I have not attached the new 40 to it for fear of ruining the one that
works.
