Re: DROP OUT OF DATA WHEN GPS CORRECTS TIME IN WINSDRHi James, I had a similar problem with Vista. I had "set computer time " set to = enable .

Hi James,
Windows has a service called "Windows Time Service" that tries to = keep=20 your computer time. Maybe it is doing just that and you end up = with=20 packets with weird timestamps. Just a thought.
You can turn off this service.
