no, i didn't run it as admin. just the normal way soon as i open the apps. i just lost the connection with gpsgate again. as i renewed all the profiles. this would take me another whole day to get it back connected with internal gps.
edit. just checked the unit now. since it is running windows xp, i don't know how to run the program as an admin. not the way how it is in win7.
