Please HELP!!! TomTom Navigator 2004 and e740 freezes

[cannibal869]

I just bought TomTom Navigator 2004 (8CD set) and am trying to install it into my Toshiba e740. The supplied GPS antenna driver was installed first and when I use the driver tools to see if the port is correct, it says "Port Name:COM1" (i.e. according to the driver tool, it's working correctly).

I am using the e740 with a AQ-300-U wired GPS (via Y-cable) -- iI believe this is essentially a repackaged Rikaline antenna. When I first got the GPS, I tested it out with a GPS tool, which was able to identify my location and relative speed, etc. I was actually quite impressed that it worked!

However, after installing TomTom, all I get is a complete freeze-up of my Pocket PC when I try to launch the TomTom application. I have to do a soft reset in order to regain any functionality... how long should the program take to start???

Can you please help me get this working? I really would appreciate any help at all and please keep in mind that I am a total newbie at this!

Thanks!
Chris

Oh, and I tried Winfast Navigator - it works fine... I'm very confused.
