just use software from a version or two before your current version of software & load that, then turn right around & reload your current nav software. Yes, that will put you in "Euro" mode (yards instead of feet in nav distance, no Accept screen), but worth it in my mind to get rid of that Accept screen. But, beware, doing this you can't get back to the USA mode without visiting the dealer....
