Have you installed a mapset?
I am confused - 'loaded basecamp'  ... 'mapsource no product/mapsource will not run.  Are you using BaseCamp or MapSource ?
You need to install a mapset before either will 'see' it; and restart the program after installing a mapset as both programs only check for available mapsets when they start-up.

Both programs will work fine to send maps to your Oregon 450. But you should use Basecamp to transfer other kinds of data (tracks, waypoints) because Mapsource is not fully compatible.
