I had a similar thing happen to me with my Laptop and Win 2K a while back. Gets you going for a while till you figure it out. On my laptop, I just waited until it was pretty much booted before I enabled the GPS.

Today I finally found that it appears to be a bug in Windows XP SP2 + latest updates. When Windows powers up it sees the GPS serial data on COM1 and thinks it's "New Hardware" and installs a driver for a serial ball pointing device. Using Device Manager to uninstall the serial ball pointing device does not work because at the next boot it gets reinstalled. The fix is to Disable the serial ball pointing device. 73, Brooke Clarke, N6GCE -- w/Java http://www.PRC68.com w/o Java http://www.pacificsites.com/~brooke/PRC68COM.shtml http://www.precisionclock.com _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
