help with gps and tomtom3

[digidude]

Hi all,

ive been readint the forums for about 2 months now and untill now ive never needed help, but now im really stuck.

ive got an XDA2 and have tomtom 3 sat nav software, ive bought a gps reciever exactly the same as this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4668&item=5717153957 but cant get it to work.

first it crashed everything and i had to hard reset just to get going again, i now have just windows and tomtom running but am gettin an error that com1 doesnt exist.

any help would be great

good luck
