ND-100 GPS Dongle

Got an ND-100 GPS dongle and can't figure out how to get the information off
it and into any applications.

Don't have a CD-drive so downloaded the driver and GPS utility from the
website. Installed the drivers, plugged it in and it seems to be detected on
all my USB ports, ranging from COM 6 to COM 8, although no light comes on
like it is supposed to. Some reviews say that the light is hard to see in
daylight, however.

Opened the MiniCDU program and selected the COM port that it's plugged in
to, and am getting nothing - even if it isn't receiving GPS info it's
supposed to display 0s in the application. Have tried changing the baud rate
to match what's on the packaging, in the manual and in the device manager >
COM port settings, and also changing the COM port settings to 4800 baud
which is what most GPS applications are accepting, but still nothing.

Have tried it in all USB ports and everything else that seems to be an
option in the miniCDU program and still no output.

Any ideas?
