DC,
Download and Install the latest Garmin USB drivers in your PC.
Install Garmin Communicator Plugin in your PC: IBM-compatible PCs running Windows® XP or later with Internet Explorer 7.0+, Firefox 3.6+, Safari 5.0+ or Chrome 8.0+
Update the Montana Software with 4.04 Beta version.
Then your problem should be solved.

DC, Did you update the right software for your unit? [LEFT]
If you choose the wrong one, other than the product it is designed for, it will render the unit inoperative.[/LEFT]

Ya DK it is the right one for Montana only 4.04 beta which a lot of people are using, before resetting I was using it and after reset I install it again. Only oone mistake I did I just disconnect it from the PC without removing it safely but it is not a blunder I think I made:((((-

Disconnecting the unit without removing it safely can damage the file system.

Never use Beta systems. Beta means still not finished and under testing. Why you need to be a tester?

This was the story in W2K and today it is only a rumour. Since WXP is no need to remove the device with Safely remove operation, unless there is still some writing activity.
