Ok, the full story.
I have a HP laptop with windows 7 64-bit installed. I am an Administrator on it.
I always log in as the Administrator and installs and run apps as the Administrator.
Now I have a problem that smells as a permission issue but can´t find out how to get
around it. I can´t be the only one so I hope you guys have worked something out.
Last spring I owned a Zumo 660 and had no issues with the installed 3.2.27 version
of the GE. I sold it and did not own a GPS until I bought the 590LM last October.
Connecting my new GPS to the laptop, GE started automaticly but did not succeed to
open when an error message came up. Don´t remember what it said now but I spotted it
to the "Garmin Core Service". This seemed to have stopped working as it was stopped.
It was for sure working 6 month before. I have Windows Update enabled for updates so
a lot have happen in that 6 months with the laptops Windows OS. I guess that is the
issue. Something have changed from april to october in the Windows OS that messes
GE up. The solution then was to change the user on the service to "Networkservice",
no passwords. Service came up and GE started again. I worked in it and updated the
new GPS with the latest maps.
Today I started GE again and connected my GPS wanted to do 2 things. Update the firmware
to 3.10 and transfer my maps to Basecamp. Update started as soon as I plugged it in
and GE found it.
Almost immediately the download of the updates seemes to hang. I just let it be hoping
it would start again but finally GE crashes. Hmm...I did remember I had this issue in
October so I didn´t want to take a chance with GE messing the firmware up so I went over
to MyGarmin website and updated the firmware successfully there.
Back to the GE on my laptop wanted to do the second thing, transferring maps to Basecamp.
I had seen there was an update 4.0.13.0 out so I downloaded it, uninstalled 3.2.27
and installed 4.0.13. Install finished with "Start Garmin Express", yes of course.
But nothing happens. Ok I thought, maybe same issue as last October. Looking at the services
the only Garmin service running is "Garmin Device Interaction Service", it says started.
But where is the core-service?
Pushed restart on the Device-service and this ends with #1053 error, timeout error, came
very quick after only a couple of seconds. So one service is missing and the other wont start.
Changed to run it as "NetworkService" and it starts up. GE would not start though.
Unistalled and installed GE a number of times in different ways from different locations
on the laptop but the 2 issues remains, GE wont start and Core-service is missing.
So, have you guys found out a workaround?
