xPort Windows 7 x64 Bluetooth Problem

Hi,

This message is for Curiosity, creator of xPort.

Your program worked great in XP, but on my Windows 7 64bit machine, it bogged down even though I ran it with Administrators rights and in XPSP2 Compatibility mode.

I checked, and apparently GPSGate had to issue a special patch here:

Do you need a similar patch for the virtual ports?

Can we use the GpsGate patch in the mean time?

I am using it with Microsoft Street and Trips 2009, which works fine with a USB GPS, but bombs on the Haicom Bluetooth GPS.

Thanks!

Sorry, XPort doesn't have a 64 bit driver. I wasn't aware that it even worked. It's probably being run in a 32 bit emulation mode so it will be much slower.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hope eventually you will write a 64bit driver for those of us who moved to x64.

Thanks
