Express v4.0

Well I think that's inevitable. Express is aimed at updating both software and maps on Garmin auto, handheld, bike, fitness etc devices over numerous OS systems ... and in the case of fitness devices is also the way they are synched with Garmin Connect.

Mix in the various build states of the PCs and Macs that are connected, and the number of combinations must be huge. Every update is aimed at correcting the latest problems that have emerged from users.

I tried to get the new version to create a set of maps on the computer, so using a clone of the Satnav that already had a set of maps loaded to it I tried to get a set of maps for the computer(s)

This version consumes a huge amount of CPU cycles, the download slowed down until the process stops with an error.

Even after the download attempt had failed the Express program continued to use a huge amount of CPU in spite of it not doing any thing useful for me.

This on a Mac

Installing 4.0.11 keeps failing for me - gets to about 80%.

The link on the Garmin website is for a much older version so may have to pass on this one.

Thanks but that wasn't for 4.0.11 - at least not when I tried earlier

Yay! Garmin got around to updating the direct download link from their website - 4.0.11 now installed.

At last, Express managed to download the Euro map to both computers (Macs on Yosemite) using the clone technique.

No.

Try using the Microsoft FixIt Utility to completely uninstall Garmin Express. This software is third-party and not created by Garmin. The software is licensed and created by Microsoft.

1.Go to the web page: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall/
2.Click the Run now button
3.Click Run in Internet Explorer or download then open MicrosoftFixit.ProgramInstallUninstall.RNP.Run.exe1
4.Click Accept in the license agreement
5.Follow the provided instructions to select and uninstall the particular application

When uninstalling Garmin Express select:
•Garmin Express
•Garmin Express Tray
•Elevated Installer
•Garmin Update Services (skip if not present)
•ANT Drivers Installer x64 (skip if not present)

This program will need to be run again for each item on the list to be uninstalled.

Then try to install Garmin Express 4.0.11. If you do not have that installer already, it can be downloaded from http://download.garmin.com/omt/express/B/GarminExpressInstaller.exe

I've had a look around and all I can find with that error message is out of date graphics drivers.

Given that graphics drivers are now included within Windows update yours should be OK.
It's not an i7, Win7 64bit issue as that's what I have.

The best utility I've found for checking drivers is the IObit Driver Booster. If you do download and install it make sure you untick any offerings for other software during installation.
