One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned

I just purchased a Magellan 4250 GPS, when I connected it to my
systems I get a "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has
malfunctioned" or something like that. I get this on my Avertec 2370
laptop both when I connect it to one of the USB port on the laptop and
to a powered USB hub. I then went downstairs to my Dell Precision 390
and connect it to the USB port (actually to both) and get the same
error. Both system are running XP Pro. I assumed that I had a
defective GPS. Took it to work where I have a HP Kayak running Windows
2000 where I have installed a USB 2.0 / Firewire PCI card (since
computer only had USB 1.1 support). Plugged the GPS into one of the
USB ports, came up like a champ.

Now I am confused, what should be my next step. I could always do my
custom POI update here at work, It is just unsettling to have two very
diverse systems (ok, they have same OS) have the same error.
