Hi All
TJ, thanks for those tests.
Opening a port for Random is an old habit that allows Input or output.
Probably dropping that will mean the same result.
What can I say "Old habits die hard"
Your comment on the buffer is one that I will definitely take on board.
Had not tried that. At the rate

I want to clarify this again, since some people who may have valid ideas on
things to try may simply be throwing up their hands and saying, "This is a USB
problem, and I don't know anything about USB."

sorry, not true.
FreeBasic seems to use IRQ, but not FIFO.
anyway, try
Open Com "COM1:600,n,8,1,cs0,ds0,cd0,r

FreeBasic doesn't support FIFO, and most likely no IRQ.
try
Open Com "COM1:600,n,8,1,cs0,ds0,cd0,rs" For Random As #CP
and see if that changes your problem.

Hi All
Many thanks for the replies.
I am using a third party library "CGUI" to develop and draw the GUI.
But I am fairly confident that it uses Interupt / event driven control of
the mouse.
The mouse is a USB, but with a usb to PS2 adapter works on the PS@ port.
The ctmouse that I first used was
Let me make sure I understand the mouse/keyboard setup correctly. I think you
are saying that you are using a USB mouse, but you have it plugged in at the
end of a PS2 Y cable. If that's the case, it's not actually a USB mouse. It's
probably a mouse that can either do USB or PS2, and it's cur

IRQ4 is the default for COM1 (and COM3) ever since the IBM PC, likewise
IRQ3 is assigned by default to COM2 and COM4.

Hi All
More detail:
The rs232 port Com1: is connected via a Null modem cable to an Adam 232 to
485 converter.
In the Bios I have Com2 to 3 disabled.
An IRQ clash is possible if Cutemouse uses IRQ4 from Com1.
My next step is to try different mouse drivers, unless I get more
suggestions.

Venturing an guess of an IRQ conflict with rs485 and the usb hardware?

Have a usb mouse with usb/ps2 converter on a Y ps2 cable.
This cable is supplied by the Industrial cpu board supplier, and it allows a
