    Hi radargeek: If your advice is for me, this is the situation as concise as I can explain it: I configured a properly formatted flash drive with three new Profiles, A/B/C. Nothing else on flash drive. Took flash drive and inserted it into Car1's ALP system USB port. The three new Profiles A/B/C successfully loaded.

    I then walked three feet to Car 2, inserted the flash drive into the ALP system. Almost all of the three Profiles A/B/C successfully loaded, but there were some selections on the Profiles A/B/C that did not load correctly. I attempted to load them again another two or three times, without success. The same incorrect settings on Profiles A/B/C were still present.

    Car 1's ALP system loaded successfully with all three Profiles A/B/C.
    Immediately walked to Car 2 on other side of garage.
    Car 2's ALP system did not load all of the correct settings from the three Profiles A/B/C.
    Nothing was done to the flash drive in the three feet walk to the other side of the garage.
    So, Car 2's ALP system is either not accepting certain selections which are on the flash drive, or the flash drive was somehow corrupted (?) during the loading process to Car 1 or Car 2?

    I will Configure another flash drive with exactly the same selections that are in Car 1's ALP system, and try loading it into Car 2's ALP system.
    I will advise of the results.

    BRD: Both ALP systems were previously upgraded to firmware version 5.2.1. All of the device information is described at the beginning of my original post.

    Problem resolved.

    I generated a new Configuration file, with the three Profiles, and loaded it on to a properly formatted USB flash drive. Inserted flash drive in Car 2's ALP USB port, and load was successful. (Car 2 is the one I had problems with a few days ago). I then took the flash drive and inserted it into Car 1's ALP USB port, and load was successful (I changed a couple of selections from what was already in the system). I then downloaded a Statistics file from each system on to two different and properly formatted USB flash drives, printed hard copies, and compared them with each other. I also compared them with a hard copy printout of the Configuration file with the three Profile's selections. All selections on the three Profiles in the Configuration file matched the Statistics print outs.

    I do not know what caused the original problem, but I now know that I can load a Configuration file with the three Profiles on to a flash drive and successfully load the file on to both ALP systems.

    Thank you to everyone who posted advice and suggestions. I appreciate your help.
