[Raging Idiot]

I haven't had to run it in months either. It was the one that was already on the phone. I discovered it worked before this thread even came into existence. I was amazed at all the different tactics people were allegedly having to go through to get their gps to work.
"ie: go outside and do an Indian Dance around some chicken bones then reset your phone... If that doesn't work, do the dance again and then run ppst.exe and then reset your phone".

So yeah, maybe the dance works for some. I just bypass the dance part and the GPS works for me. You have to remember the variables. GPSatelite signal strength varies depending on a number of factors. Your phone's ability to process those signals varies on a number of factors. Some commonly overlooked are available memory and processor usage and time lapsed since last GPS lock.
