I have installed Garmin Express on a Windows 7 machine. It finds my device then I get the Sync with Garmin Connect. I click the I want to sync to an existing account. The popup screen shows but it is blank and I have no way of logging in? Any suggestions please?

    Problem fixed by reinstalling Garmin Express

    I originally had the "sync with existing account" blank login dialog box problem with none of the proposed fixes making any difference.
    I reinstalled garmin express this morning and no longer have the problem with the current install.

    One potential solution

    This was crazy, but it got me past the blank Garmin Express sync screen and enabled me to download my data to my existing Garmin account.

    1. Once you arrive at the blank entry form you can move your cursor around the top of the form (approximately 1" from the top in my case) until it changes from an arrow to a text insertion point (kind of looks like an I)
    2. Click once and your cursor will actually be in the user name field
    3. Carefully type in your user name
    4. Hit the tab key once to place your cursor into the password field
    5. Carefully enter your password
    6. Hit the enter key and away you go

    Good luck...I hope Garmin addresses this quickly

    BTW I am running Windows 8 and using IE 10.0.14

  • If you are getting the blank sign in screen in Garmin Express, try the following steps to resolve this issue:

    1. Avoid using a proxy or VPN (Virtual Private Network) to connect to the Internet
    2. Update the computer's display drivers to the latest version available from the manufacturer

    Following these steps will allow the content to be displayed properly.

    This is How I Resolved It

    As soon as the blank form opened I did the following:
    1) Entered my email address;
    2) Hit the tab key;
    3) Entered my password.
    4) Hit return.

    Then Garmin Express was OK.

    This issue has nothing to do with VPN drivers!

    I confirm that updating video driver solves the problem. At least for me.

    I am having the same problem. I haven't had any luck with tabbing around the invisible form elements on the invisible form. I'll try turning it off and back on again.

    EDIT: It looks like this is because of some entries in my hosts file. I watched the requests that Garmin Express was making with Fiddler, and found that it was trying to contact tealium.hs.llnwd.net and gscounters.us1.gigya.net. I commented those out of my hosts file and Garmin Express worked fine again.

    So if you're having trouble and if you've installed a modified hosts file, try temporarily clearing that out while you are running Garmin Express. It is doing some kind of tracking or analytics and requires that it be able to talk to those services.
  • Please update your Garmin Express to the current 3.2.8 client.
    you can do that by clicking on the Gear icon and choosing the Check for Application Updates or click on this link for the direct download:
