GPS Problems with Windows 7
Hi,
I have 2 Laptops, one lod using XP and a new ASUS with Windows 7 Premium.
I have Open cpn loaded on both, I have a Globalstar 353 GPS aerial. It all works perfectly on xp. On windows 7 after a period of time (anything from 5 minutes to several hours) the ship icon turns grey and stops giving info. I then cannot close the programme i have to re boot the computer and the gps is working again.
Has anyone shared or solved this problem.
Many thanks.. John.
