Thread: Serial GPS thinks it is a mouse..

you can try this i have the same problem .To work around this problem, allow the device to be detected incorrectly, use Device Manager to disable the device that is not the port to which the device is attached, and then reboot your computer. When you do this, the port works correctly and the incorrectly detected device is disabled.

i got this info from http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;283063

or do a search at microsoft.com for "Serial Device May Be Detected as a Serial Mouse in Windows xp"

Thanks that looks like it will fix my problem.
