Having trouble getting GPS lock

[BigMac11]

I have IGO8 on my sprint touch pro, and i have such a hard time getting any gps signal! I use the quickgps finder that comes with the touch, as well as the HTC issued hotfix (which didnt really do anything for me) and i generally have no GPS connection. I installed the HTC GPS tool that i found in the verizon gps unlock thread, and i'm attempting to use that to get an initial lock on the gps but so far it hasnt worked too well

once i have the initial lock, there doesnt seem to be any problem using it.

is there any programs i can use to get the initial lock? or even better, is there something stupid i'm forgetting to do before i use IGO?

thanks in advance
