Garmin Connection Problem

I connect the Garmin to my computer with a USB cord, and a screen pops up on the device that says Garmin, and there is a loading bar beneath it. Even when the bar says the device is fully loaded, my Garmin never changes to the connection screen, and it won't charge. What can I do?
