JoNanB Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Have recently upgraded to Windows 8. When I plug my Explorist GC into usb port I get associate chimes, however device never shows up on file manager and won’t communicate with Geocaching.com or GSAK. If I restart the computer with the Exporist GC on and connected to USB everything comes up and works fine. I think Microsoft has done something to hose communicator I need a fix this is annoying.

I have the same problem and it's driving me insane. If you fixed it how did you do it? I am going crazy. Quote Link to comment
+Polomand Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Contact Magellan. They probably have an updated driver or software package. If you can't get software to run right click on it and run as administrator. Quote Link to comment
