in MyDrive Connect
I get a message on the device that connection is being made. I also get a message on my desktop that the USB device is not recognized. The last USB device which connected to the desktop created a malfunction. Windows does no recognize the device (I presume the last one was also the Tom Tom but i'm not sure)

    Hi
    @LouisDubois
    Welcome to the site....
    Firstly try....
    With MyDrive Connect running... Your device plugged in and turned on
    On the keyboard... Press the Windows Button + R
    In the Run box type... Control printers
    Click OK
    The Devices and Printers window opens
    Right Click on the Tomtom Icon and select 'Troubleshoot'
    Note... Maybe listed as a Remote NDIS Compatible Device... My GO Premium displays as 'NDIS Compatible Device #8'

    Thanks @YamFazMan
    I'm on a Mac but have found the two folders you mentioned (Home3 and MyDriveConnect) and deleted them. Hurrah.. that's done the trick after a couple of frustrating weeks I've updated it successfully.
    Many thanks for the advice.
    On a Mac....
    The "HOME3" and the "MyDrive Connect" folders are located here...
    MacOS: Users\Username\Library\Application Support\TomTom\
