Ok, weird but all my tinkering around led to her Vogue seeing NO SATS at ALL. So I decided to flash back to the stock rom, which is WM6.1. Then I installed QuickGPS. I also added the VIRSER_GPS.dll (because I noticed it wasn't started when I looked at the devices in the freddotnet task manager, which was because the dll wasn't there) and started that up, VIOLA!! GPS locks now from INSIDE the house, under 2 mins!!!!
But alas, my wife LOVES the WM6.5 ROM I had on there.. so I exported the registry entries related to GPS and making note of the gps dlls on the 6.1 rom and we'll see if I can't get it working on the 6.5 rom.
