Seriously. I'm about to cry. Whenever I hook the Garmin 650 up to the USB
port Vista tries to locate the device driver. Then it can't find it.... I get
a "Windows could not find driver software for your device" message and I'm
absolutely stuck. I tried to download the KB940199 fix for this, (this is the
download suggested by the problem report) but Windows keeps telling me it
doesn't apply to my system (I have a 32 bit system) and it cancels the
download.

I had this same problem with a stupid flash drive several months ago and got
so frustrated I just went and bought a different flash. But the Garmin was
expensive and I can't just change it out. This is seriously making me
frustrated. What on earth do I do to fix this?
