I suspect you now have a 64bit operating system so your original drivers/software may not be compatable. Can you advise what the operating system now is.

A quick look on the Garmin site seems to indicate the Serial version of the etrex doesn't work that well with the 64bit operating systems but you could try reloading the software if your etrex is a USB version.
