I am using windows 7 and vista , don't laugh, can't afford to update.

I am using a Casio 601 and a Roland JV 30 and the Yamaha midi connector.

I can play the normal instruments though both keyboards, but the Garritan sounds only play through the computer.

What am I missing?

A keyboard can only play sounds that are resident in the keyboard. The Garritan sounds are not loaded into your keyboard. If you have a keyboard that allows the Garritan sounds to be loaded there, then you need to load them into the keyboard. However, from your description, I don't think your keyboards have that feature or ability.
