Maybe use XP mode, it changed yesterday try updating..
XP mode
Microsoft site says XP mode will only install on Win7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise. My Win7 is the home version.
In that case if you to, put a light XP on V-box for your GPS
This is the only real way to get XP then.

Software update?
Many years ago, I had serial driver problems when the update came from Win-98 to 98SE.
It actually wasn't a driver problem; it was a software problem. The software was trying to access the serial port in a privileged manner that was no longer allowed as of 98SE.
So, is there a new Windows-7 version of software for the GPS? That might be another place to check.
The last serial GPS I loaded was a Garmin with squat for flash..
..memory (128meg), maybe it's one of those? The driver worked under XP though, so maybe it'll work in XP-mode.. Or maybe in XP on V-box..
Yesterday I though it was good news to hear MS is now allowing any CPU to do XP-mode. Can you believe Intel made even some Quad-core's that had no VT support? What a rip!
GPS new software.
I will check and see if the GPS has new software. The problem will be installing on the GPS since the cable I have won't work.
