Re: [time-nuts] Serial port / Mouse issue (was mentionedin"Thunderbolt Monitor")
aha It may be that this HP pavilion I use for GPS work does not have a mouse, per-se. I just use the finger pad on the keyboard, got accustomed to it. I always boot with the little usb adapters installed, sometimes two of them, ...no problems yet. -- From: "Stephen Tompsett" Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2013 1:11 PM To: Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Serial port / Mouse issue (was mentionedin"Thunderbolt Monitor") You've been lucky, or maybe not connected your GPS module until after the system has booted and enumerated all the mice that it thinks are connected. The real problem is that Microsoft by default assumes that if you are a communications device gratuitously sending data then you must be a mouse! At least you will know what the problem is if it does occur.

http://www.gpsmap.net/GarminHints.html#GPSR_ComputerMouse David -- that particular "solution" does not work in many cases. Shortened URL: http://goo.gl/xFcSc Sarah -- that solution also doesn't work in many cases. Read the entire 3 pages of frustrated comments that follow the so-called "solution" to the problem (the start value resets to 3). All -- I've never seen a robust solution to the issue of rapid serial data on a Windows NT/XP/Vista/7 machine. It's not just GPS; any serial telemetry device from thermometer to frequency counter to time interval analyzer suffers the same fate. If any of you have a 100% workable solution please send it to me *off-line*. If I'm convinced it works, I'll post the one true solution here. I realize there are a number of work-around hacks that sometimes work, or work for a while. My goal is a single action a windows user can perform that will then permanently prevent any and all future serial / PnP / USB GPS-like devices from being wrongly interpreted as a mouse for the life of the machine. Thanks, /tvb === Tom, Thanks for the updates. On both my Windows-7/64 PC and my Windows-8/64 PC I've not had to apply any fixes at all.
