    I have a t60P (Vista Ultimate) and a Sprint gps novatel 720. The Card works fine but will not find GPS satellites. It works fine on my wife's XP machine. Intermittently, I have gotten a message saying that a Wan Miniport needs to be disabled. Is anyone else running into this and does anyone have any idea how to fix it.
    thanks,
    C.

    If anyone finds this, I think I sorta figured it out.
    After I turned off all wireless radios, the card now finds the gps satellites.
    This wasn't necessary on an XP machine so I don't know why it is necessary on my Vista machine but it is a workaround.
