+BOTOCH Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Yesterday I tried downloading Magellan Coummunicator from www.geocaching.com and it went through the install process but was no where to be found on my computer. I tried re-installing again only to find it was actually uninstalling, then went back and re-installed but again could not find it in the program file it was installing to. Tried installing to desktop only to find the setup.exe file ended up on my desktop. Now this worked great on my old XP laptop but having a lot of trouble with it working on Windows 7. Any ideas? Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment
+gpsblake Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Did you install it under ADMIN MODE? Right click on the installer and run as ADMIN, see if that helps, that's how it worked with Vista. Quote Link to comment
+Dream_BC Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Did you get this working? I am having the same problem. Works fine on three other computers I have but my new Windows 7 laptop it installs but then goes back to saying I need to install drivers. Then I install again and it uninstalls them. I hope you found an answer to this?! Quote Link to comment
+BOTOCH Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 No I never did, and honestly it was so long ago I can't remember if I tried using the admin feature. I just went looking for it again but didn't see it. Do you have to be a premium member to use it? I was then, but am not now. Quote Link to comment
+Socal ZukiCachers Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Ok - I just double checked it and the Magellan Communicator works fine with Windows 7(64) and the Triton. However, when you go to install it is will download it into the download folder (directory), but this does not mean that it has installed it. You will have to go into the download directory and run the install. After it is installed you will need to close and reopen the communicator window on GC.com and it will ask you to "Allow" the communicator software to run. After you answer yes, then it will work as advertised for both the new eXplorist GPSrs and the Tritons. David SoCal Zukicachers Magellan Insider Quote Link to comment
