The other day I updated my maps on Garmin GPS. I forgot to safely remove hardware and now I have a usb error. (unknown device) Windows has disabled this usb connection. I will get a pop up telling me this ever so often. What should I do to correct this error(code 43). Thanks, Dale

AskWoody LoungerJuly 6, 2011 at 1:12 am #1286786I had this issue and spend quite a bit of time trying to figure it out. Funny thing was, everything worked, so I wasn’t too worried about it. But it did bug me. So I kept trying to correct the issue. I read somewhere that in some cases this problem can be fixed by just unplugging and reinserting all USB devices. That’s all it took in my case. All is good now.
