i asked yesterday what for error message were you getting, but you havent replied so maybe you missed it. the dos box you are refering to is part of the update process for the 3100. run the update again and be patient, this update is huge and takes about 30-45 minutes to complete.do not remove usb cable untill directed to do so then the unit will reboot numerous times to install the update. do not attempt to touch the gps until you see the screen with the time zone. if that fail hopefully you copied the files before you tried to update it. if the update fails again, let me know and ill show you how to restore your 3100
You probably just need to reset it.
Magellan Maestro models- the location of reset button is on the left, right, or bottom side inside a small hole. Use an object to apply pressure to depress the reset button. Also try holding the power button down for up to 10 seconds to power the unit off and again holding the power button down for up to 10 seconds to power the unit on.
