Thanks,
Just to be sure I reinstalled the Garmin driver for windows. No 
difference, I still get the error (see attached screen shot).
And running gpsbabel from the command line, or thru the GPSBabel GUI 
works fine.
I wonder if this problem is a continuation of this [1] trac issue that 
was reopened recently?
