I havnt used OZI or a while but I tried it today and all I get is error opening com port. I suspect it may be the Serial USB adapter. and according to device manager the drivers for this arnt installed. I grabbed the instal disk but it doesnt autostart and the intall wizard cant find it either
Frustrating
I have changed no settings and checked them and they seem fine - right com port 4800 in out etc

Hey mate- havent heard from you in a while
Sure its the right com port?
You can
check in Control Panel > system > Hardware tab > Device manager
Go to ports and make sure you have the right number.
Failing that, make sure your GPS has NMEA output turned on- that option could be anywhere in the GPS menus.
The LEDs are always different on those adapters- some light up when plugged in, some only when data is transmitting...

And your right when i set the GPS to NMEA out the LED flashes

when in control panel it tlls me the the USB_ seriel controller drivers are not installed.
But from memory we didnt have to do anything excpt plug and play with the converter.
