Unexpected error!!!!

Former Member
Former Member
I've just bought my first Garmin and am unable to log my run due to a message that keeps coming up everytime I try to launch Express. I am told its an unexpected error. I am pretty annoyed that having bought the watch the software to support it won't work :mad: Not cool. Is there anyway to make it work. I am on a Windows 7, no access to other devices.

    I have the same problem!!!!! I cannot open Garmin Express and sincronize the account wiht the clock. When I open Garmin Connect it says Unexpected mistake while opening. Is there any solution??? I have deleted all files, installed two times the Garmin Connect and nothing.

    Thanks.
  • You don't install Garmin Connect, do you mean Express? Try updating to the latest version v3.2.27 then try again.

    This error is caused by an issue with a Windows component called ExplorerFrame.dll. There is most likely a registry key that is missing or corrupt. We are currently investigating this so that we can potentially help our customers resolve this computer issue. For those of you that are receiving this issue, if you can post the contents of the registry keys below, it may help us to narrow down the cause.

    WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. Garmin cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Also, do not include any other registry information as there is private information contained in the registry.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{56FDF344-FD6D-11d0-958A-006097C9A090}]


    To access the registry:
    • Press the Windows Key + R
    • Type regedit
    • Press Enter or click OK


    In addition, we would also like the file version for the following DLL files:
    c:\Windows\System32\ExplorerFrame.dll
    c:\Windows\SysWOW64\ExplorerFrame.dll (64-bit Windows only)

    To get the version number:
    • Right-click the file
    • Click Properties
    • Click Details
    • Note the File version (On Windows 7 it is usually 6.1.7601.17514).
  • I am also receiving this issue and I tried to find the registry keys you mentionned but I only managed to find :
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{56FDF344-FD6D-11d0-958A-006097C9A090}HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{56FDF344-FD6D-11d0-958A-006097C9A090}\InProcServer32

    Here are the values :

    Thank you for posting this. I have added this information to the case. The missing keys could be the problem but hopefully we will know more soon.
