USB is a serial port.
There will be a USB-to-serial converter installed to read informtation from the gPS receiver.
Look in the device manager.

Make certain the COM port for the GPS receiver is set to 9600,N,8,1 in Device manager and in your application. (Note: If the manual for the receiver says something different, set the COM port to those settings.)
