SMC Maps in Mapsource or Send Map-Cannot even get started !

I have seen previous posts on this subject , and people are very
helpful to others posting.
I have just bought my etrex Legend CX so getting used to it. I tried to
download the SMC contour maps to my unit using Mapsource, but the
Mapsource software cannot even find my GPS ! ( I tried downloading the
latest USB drivers , but nothing helps)
I then resorted to the Send map utility, which appears to just wipe the
existing maps off my GPS, and then I can't even see any of the ones it
is supposed to have transferred.
( I had copies of my basemap and replaced it luckily)
This is all most likely due to the fact that I am not familliar with
any of this software or hardware and cannot follow what seems simple
enough instructions from the SMC site.
Does anyone have a blow for blow instructions on what setting the etrex
Legend CX GPS needs to have , and how to transfer the maps using
SENDMAP or Mapsource (assuming I can ever get Mapsource to recognise
my GPS)
I am not just looking for people to do my work for me here, I have
tried to get this working, but must be missing something crucial.
