Some Bluetooth drivers occupy multiple COM ports after initial use and therefore block all serial communications including communications to the GPS receiver which in turn locks up the TeleType GPS application. To verify the problem exists, view Control Panel, Hardware configuration, notice that multiple ports have been occupied by the one driver. Uninstall the duplicative bluetooth drivers.
