    I am having difficulties getting the Garmin ANT+ agent to work under Parallels. When the USB ANT+ stick is plugged in, Windows keeps telling me that it cannot recognise the USB device. Running 10.5.7, Windows Vista with all updates and service packs, Parallels 4 with all updates.

    Same here

    I am getting the exact same error - I can boot into BootCamp directly and it works fine, but using via Parallels gives the windows error message about "unrecognized device".

    Any thoughts??

    For now I download from my Garmin 310XT and collect the data from the folder for manual import into SportTracks on WIndoze.

    From the Garmin Forums - unplug the ANT stick from the Mac, open a terminal window and run the following:

    sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/SiLabsUSBDriver.kext

    Fire up Parallels and Windoze and you'll be in business.

    The problem with Parallels and the ANT Agent is the ANT Stick driver at:

    /System/Library/Extensions/SiLabsUSBDriver.kext

    prevents Parallels from accessing the device.

    I have heard before that all is well under Boot Camp. Unfortunately I cannot get Boot Camp to fire up from my Vista DVD so don't have that option. Thanks heavens for Time Capsule!!
