Garmin express start up problems!!!

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hello

I am new on here and to be honest not all that technical when it comes to computers so please bear with me.

I have being using gamin on my PC for a while but am trying to load the appropriate software on my laptop for my forerunner 110. I am having some issues with it though.

I have currently uploaded the Garmin communicator plug in, Garmin communicator plug in x64, Garmin Express,GArmin USB drivers and Garmin webupdater. But when coming to open express I get the message about

"Garmin Express can't open because the internet connection is being blocked. try disabling you firewall and proxy setting and try to open Express again" etc etc

I think i have done both of these but not 100% sure if i have done it correctly.

I am running windows and am using chrome as my browser. I have tried it on explorer and firefox too.

Any help grateful.

Thank you

In some cases depending on how the security software is setup along with User Account permissions can cause issues with what has been described. One thing you can try is forcing access to allow the Garmin Core Services to be allowed through to the internet.

1. Press the Windows key+R
2. Type "services.msc" and press Enter
3. Locate and right-click Garmin Core Update Service
4. Click Properties
5. Click on Log On tab
6. Select This account
7. Click Browse
8. Type Network Service
9. Click Check Names
10. Click OK
11. Remove all text from both password fields
12. Click OK
13. Click OK again
14. Right-click Garmin Core Update Service and Click Stop
15. Right-click Garmin Core Update Service and Click Start
NOTE: This is not a permanent fix. These steps must be repeated if Garmin Express is updated to a newer version or re-installed.
