Any other ideas? I'm using the Holux M-1200 as my receiver...

The TomTom software is different as it connects directly to the GPS rather than using WM's "application" comm port.
I have an M-1200 as well (this thing rocks, BTW. Small, stays on my keychain and works great EVEN IN MY POCKET!). After I paired it, I set up a new outgoing port under COM Ports in the Bluetooth settings. Once that was done, I went into the external GPS settings and use the software port to 0 and the hardware port to com5.
Now when I use TomTom, I have to tell it to use comm 5 but all other programs, like Google maps, use comm 0.
Btw, I haven't been able to find ANY comm ports that are "reserved" by default. There is nothing that could reserve them.
