Resolution

Occasionally a device installed on a computer will conflict or interfere with the operation of a TeleTypeGPS card. The most common of these devices are the built in Infrared Ports that are found on many Laptops. Other Network Adapters may also cause conflicts.

To resolve these conflicts it is necessary to disable (or sometimes remove) these devices from the computer. This can be done through the Device Manager and it may not be necessary to physically remove or disable them.
