My wife's PC just quit, and I have another wit Windows 7. Hers was XP, I believe. Either way, I can't get the Garmin communicator plug in to download to my Windows 7. I've tried everything changing compatibility modes. Has anyone experienced this, and how are you getting around it? Is Garmin fixing the problem, as I've been unable to contact them? I would hate to think I have to change GPS devices to allow me to download caches. Thanks for any help.

I found the answer to my question on a much earlier post,...(copied below) "Please do a master reset on your unit. Doing a master reset will delete all user data, but it will also delete any corrupt system data which may be causing the issue. Be sure to back up all user data, if possible, before continuing. To do the master reset, with the unit off, press and hold 'page' + 'enter' + 'power' at the same time for a few seconds. You'll be asked if you're sure you want to delete all user data. Select yes. Now, with the unit off, press and hold 'page' + 'enter' + 'find' + 'power' at the same time for at least five seconds. It's the second step that actually got mine going and I think this is what people are not including"

anyone else have trouble with the screen going blank on etrex venture? what can be done?

thanks for all your help, I am amazed at how quickly someone got back with me. ya'll are great!

I'm very new at this, just got my garmin venture hc. can't for the life of me figure out how to add waypoints so I can let the hunt begin.
