This posting is to document the problem and solution that I encountered after upgrading to a new laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I have a Holux GR-213U GPS receiver that I have been using for the last couple of years both with XP and Vista (32-bit) to feed a host of GPS enabled programs. When I first plugged the receiver into the USB port Windows immediately tried to find the appropriate driver but after time came back and said it couldn't find an appropriate driver. I then followed Microsofts instruction to no avail. Next I went to Holux's web site and downloaded the latest driver even though it implied it might work with Win 7 it didn't address at all the 64-Bit issue. I installed that and the install wouldn't fail but in Device manager it said that it was unable to load the USB to Serial Comm Port driver. I uninstalled the driver and then reloaded it using Win 7's compatibility mode but the result was the same.

Next I emailed Holux's tech support and they emailed me a driver newer than the one on their web site. I went through the same process as I did with the first driver with the same result. In Device manager on the Driver tab of the USB to Serial device I noted that the driver was a 'Prolific' product. I searched the web and found a newer driver @ called 'PL2303ProlificDriverInstallerv110.zip'.

This driver stated it supported Windows 7 64-Bit versions. I uninstalled the previous driver and installed the new driver file but Device manager still said it couldn't install the driver. I uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times without success. I finally uninstalled the driver went into Device manager and brought up the driver tab of the red X'd device and clicked Uninstall and was presented with the opportunity to check a box to physically remove the drivers from the system, which I did. I than rebooted and reinstalled the latest driver and then connected the receiver and Windows than found the driver successfully installed it.

The receiver has been assigned COM3 and works perfectly. I just purchased the GR-213U and my PC (Sony Vaio FW series) is running 64-bit Windows 7. When I first tried it out at home the unit worked fine (twice).

Then I took the computer out for a test run in my car to see if everything was OK. As soon as I plug in the GPS my computer freezes and I have to hard boot. I installed the driver you suggested but I can't even get to the point where the computer can see the device.

When I first plugged it in, Windows 7 recognized and got the appropriate device driver and the unit worked well (I use DeLorme Street Atlas and GRLevel 3 software with GPSgate to split the GPS signal so that I can use multiple applications. Any suggestions - I am a complete loss on how to proceed. I finally uninstalled the driver went into Device manager and brought up the driver tab of the red X'd device and clicked Uninstall and was presented with the opportunity to check a box to physically remove the drivers from the system, which I did. I than rebooted and reinstalled the latest driver and then connected the receiver and Windows than found the driver successfully installed it. The receiver has been assigned COM3 and works perfectly. By the latest driver, do you mean the one from Holux or the Prolific version. It seems to me either might work as the fix was removing the old driver completely using Device Manager.

Strange - I have 3 USP ports. I plugged the device into one that I was pretty sure I did't use. It recoognized the device and gave me a choice to look for drivers. I unplugged and then plugged it into the second one.

I got the same window that it recognized it but the note was barely visible and the computer froze. I rebooted again then plugged the device back into the USP port that worked that worked a few minutes before and the computer froze. I then plugged my old GPS back into the very same port (after rebooting) and it recognized the device. Any other suggestions? Terry, I did search using 'holux' and 'prolific' and the computer found some files that I missed. I deleted all of them, rebooted and got the same result. The computer freezes about 2 seconds after I plug in the device.

Ken, I also did what you suggested and the commands worked. There were no suspect files found so I downloaded the prolific driver as mentioned in the first post on this topic. I got the same result - computer froze 2 seconds after inserting the device. I did go back and check to see if all three USB ports were working properly and they were. I am very close to chalking this up as a $35 learning experience and getting a different GPS.

I am considering the Globalsat 353. Thanks again for all your help!
