If you're using the USB cable with your 60cs then you'll have to uncheck the "GPS is USB" box on the GPS Setup screen to use the serial connection with your GPS12.

Transferring waypoints is about the only way. A recent problem that someone else experienced like this ended up being caused by dirty pins on the cable or GPS. It was solved by cleaning the connectors with alcohol.

 

Do you have any other program running that may have grabbed the com port? (hotsync or other)?

 

To rule out cable problems try another program like GPS Trackmaker (freeware) to transfer data.
