mine has always refused to save the data apart from the 1st entry on in january, so I back it up each time so I can always open it up without the garmin attached

Can anyone help, I keep getting this message when I connect to my PC, happening at home and on works comp.
"There was a problem with communicating with your device, please make sure it is connected to the computer, then try again"
This has only started happening since last Friday, only had my Garmin 6 weeks, is this normal?

I had the same problem with Vista not saving the data. I can't remember where I read it but you need to set Training Center to run with Administrator permissions.
