    Here are a few possibilities.

    One: Although a message should pop up telling you it is possible you don't have the correct driver on your 800. You can verify you have the latest and greatest by going to Garmin Connect.

    Two: You browser is running in 64 bit mode vs 32 bit mode. Evidently 32 bit is the preferred (required) mode for the Garmin devices, or at least through Firefox it is. Fortunately it is kind enough to bring up a bar with a button asking, "Restart in 32 bit mode?" Ummm... Yes. Yes would be my answer.

    Three: If you are trying to utilize a USB hub, vs connect directly to a USB port on your PC or Mac you can also suffer erratic performance or failure. This generally will NOT bring up an error message on your browser and can leave you hanging in the dreaded uploading mode forever. (Sounds a lot like your case.)

    Hope one of these helps.
