I think you may need to go into the programs list of your device

Tap the start then programs and then GPS, make sure there is a tick in the COM Port selection box for the Correct GPS antenna you are using

EG:- if using a TomTom "Mouse" (the one on the end of a lead) this one uses com port 3 ....well on my IPAQ 3950 it does.

Hope that helps

OK forget my last bit of advice but follow this from Mike

When using TomTom version 5 you do not use the seperate GPS program to set-up the device, instead go to Change Preferences/ Show GPS Status then hit the configure button, it is in this area that you specify the comm port, baud rate etc.
Make sure the GPS driver for the earlier version is not running though as it could be hogging the comm port - start/ settings/ system Tab_Memory_Running Programs and if its listed stop it before launching navigator five - Mike

Worked for me

If it's a serial GPS also check that ActiveSync isn't running in background.

Kill ALL running apps and try again using the info in the post above from Ratspom
