Spally, this blog garmin.blogs.com suggests you might have to turn the GPS off for the 305 to detect the footpod. Also you need at least version 2.50 of the 305 software - maybe you need an upgrade?
Quofan, no idea, sorry - still on XP myself.

Quofan, you need to go and download the latest training centre software and usbdrivers from the garmin website. I'm on Vista and it works perfectly with the latest software.

DIY Diva, I've had that error message a few times. First time, I copy & pasted it in an email like it asks and sent it, but the email i got back I kinda ignored. If the error message comes up again, I delete it and continue doing what I was doing - everything's still ok :-)
