FlipShare software won't install

You may try and unintstall Silverlight and then re-install it again. I now have had this issue too and that sometimes but not always did the trick for them. I use Google Chrome now myself and never have this issue, thankfully.

It is because you are running Windows XP it is not longer supported so the two computers can "Talk" to eachother.

look on your computer under either My Videos or My Documents and see if you find the FLIPSHARE DATA file. You can open that file and then see 3 files, videos, flipshare and previews. If you have an external hard drive, back all these up on that. If you don't, then try copying and pasting all three files or the one flipshare Data file somewhere else on your computer away from My Videos and my documents. that way when you uninstall the flipshare software it won't take those files with it, or shouldn't. then when you reinstall all, if the files remained, fine, if not copy and paste from wherever you stored them back to where they originally were stored by Flipshare. Your other choice is to take the videos you have on computer, put them into Windows Live Movie Maker and make a movie of them onto DVD. then you'll have them for sure. Just open the movie maker click on Add Videos & Photos and find the Flipshare Data file, then the video file and choose which ones to make your DVD. here's link to movie maker: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials
you do have to create a name and login, but its all free and wonderful! just don't make your DVDs too large remember a regular disk holds 4.7GB 120 min. Have fun.

Assuming that you cannot switch it off and on again, try removing the battery for a couple of minutes before re installing. Failing that a cold reboot my work ..... with the unit switch off press and hold the bottom right corner of the touch screen and the press the power button. The Zumo splash screen should appear....continue to hold the botton right corner until the reset default screen instrution appear and follow them. This has work in the passed.
If you have recently download a latest software via the Garmin web updater this can sometimes cause conflicts and you may need to re-install a prervious version. from the Garmin link attached.
