The GPS fix he mentioned is likely the one that speeds up getting a GPS fix (lock) via PDE servers... Don't worry about this fix, it won't do anything for you if you can't already get a normal (slow) fix (lock).
You need to make sure that your GPS is set to use COM4 @ 4800baud:
Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Services -> Location Settings -> ON
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Programs -> Program Port: COM4
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Hardware -> GPS hardware port: (None)
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Hardware -> Baud rate: 4800
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Access -> (Checked) Manage GPS automatically
If these settings don't get you a position fix with your GPS (in an unobstructed sky view with proper time to lock on) the GPS speed hack won't do you any good (and will just give you an opportunity to possibly brick your phone).
An initial fix might take a while to get (15min is not unheard of), I suggest going to an open field with a full battery and trying to get a fix with Google Maps -- each time after that initial fix should be significantly faster.
(If you continue to have problems, please post the specific program you are using, any error messages it may give, and how long you've given it to work -- that would help a lot!)
