G7ToWin Problem

[JackS]

I downloaded G7ToWin a week or two ago and I did get it to work for the purpose of downloading screen shots. I tried it just now and got the following error messages:

When choosing GPS | Commands | Get and show bitmap, a dialog box came up and said "GPS communication protocol error: Msg length". I clicked "OK" and that box was followed by a box that said "Serial Port Timeout."

And at another time, I got "in AsyncInit 1; port: COM 1; error: 5 - access is denied".

I tried restarting my PC several times and I removed and reinstalled G7ToWin with the same results. I'm using Windows XP.

Suggestions?

Looks like some other application is occupying the COM port. Maybe ActiveSync?

But what about the dialog "GPS communication protocol error: Msg length"?

I used the same serial port yesterday to download routes to my eTrex Vista successfully.
