    (SNIP) When you get the PC, do a clean install of Windows XP (home or pro
    seem to work fine) put your nav stuff on there and not much else. Keep it
    clean and simple and do all your other stuff on another laptop.

    A well crafted navigation program that conforms to the Windows API does not
    need to run "alone" in the machine. I run constant mail, browsing,
    navigation and WiFi without any problems on an old A31 ThinkPad. Quality
    navigation software is just another application, no special handling is
    required. Excel is extremely important to a creative stock analyst but you
    don't see them running it alone.

    Sometimes application programmers get co-opted by their own technical
    elegance and write marginal code. If your Navigation program breaks enough
    to warrant running it alone, my advice is to get a new navigation program.
