Stan and the list: This topic has come up a number of times, and I've been annoyed by the behavior as well. The solution I have found is to use a little utility called 'NoSerialMouse' that was created by Marcio Borges. It requires no installation, you can just run it as needed. You will be abl

Hi Stan, I am running XP Pro with a USB laser mouse and a USB to serial adapter to the T'Bolt. The USB to serial adapter drivers are on hand and they loaded nicely, with the computer setting the USB port to COM10. if your adapter uses one of the popular FT232 chips from FTDI, then your "mous

I have this problem as well. The issue is that the USB com port shows up as a different number sometimes after a reboot and thus I must go in and manually disable the 'mouse' again. Quite annoying when trying to set up a system that just boots up and works. On May 11, 2011, at 9:51, brent e

I believe you need to disable - not delete - the serial mouse in the device manager, else it just keeps reinstalling. Brent KD4VMM On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 9:42 AM, David J Taylor wrote: >> Hello David, >> >> The symptoms include: eratic mouse cursor that stabilizes (corrects) >> after I disconne

That's not a conflict. Windows thinks the tbolt is a mouse. Go into device manager and delete the "serial mouse" or disable it. -Bob On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 7:23 AM, Stan, W1LE wrote: > Hello David, > > The symptoms include: eratic mouse cursor that stabilizes (corrects) > after I disconnect

A USB device doesn't use a COM port. More likely it's an IRQ conflict between the devices. Try removing the COM port adapter, reboot, and then plug it back in to a different USB port. This should cause the computer do dynamically assign a non-conflicting IRQ address. Regards, James ___
