Seems to be a bug in this release. My PC locks up, under certain circumstances when it's running. 100% repeatable, and when Express is closed, the problem goes away.

If I try to send an email - I've tried it with two different mail clients - with an embedded jpg or png, when I click on "send" that mail locks up, followed by the email client, and other programs. It's not possible to end the task on anything that's locked up. Close Express, do exactly the same thing, and all is well.

OK. I've tried it on Windows 7 and 10 and it seems to be ok so far. Maybe a reboot might help if you haven't already tried that?

LOL, about a million times (and not by choice!) till I worked out what was causing the problem. When it does its thing, a hard reboot (thank goodness for backups!) is all you can do.

I agree it's fine on W10 too.

I think it's a memory addressing problem, for what it's worth.

Hi Jim.

Have you let Garmin Support know? At least it's OK on Win 7 and 10

Yes, I rang them and emailed them Steve.

It's updated so often, of course, that the next release might sort it....

When I run Express for the 7.3.0.0 update it runs for 10 seconds then I keep getting an Install Failed message on my Windows10, error message says Cannot Install Update on this computer... do I have to plug in my Zumo550 for the Update to work?
