I have the Rikaline 6010 model, and have used it with S&T '05 and '06, as well as other apps. When I first bought it (from ebay), the first time I ever ran it, it took almost 30 minutes (yes, minutes) to acquire the satellite lock. After that first time, it took approx 10-20 seconds each time.

The Rikaline supposedly has a small watch-type battery inside it, which is supposed to assist with cold-start satellite acquisition. If you've had your Rikaline for a long time, maybe the battery is getting weak.

Aside from those points, if your model is USB (you didn't say) then make sure your USB drivers are correctly installed, and make sure that your USB/Serial bridge driver (might be slightly incorrect terminology) is functioning properly.

[EDIT: Perhaps just try reinstalling S&T '05 and see if that fixes the issue...?]
