Suggestion 1: If Windows doesn't recognize your Nuvi, then reinstall the USB drivers that can be downloaded from Garmin's website.

Suggestion 2: If you can get the computer to recognize the Nuvi, run Webupdater and reinstall the firmware even if you already have the latest version.

I hope this is helpful to you!
