winxp thinks my USB GPS receiver as mouse after cold boot (start up)

before anyone flame me for not doing a search... I did search and found 2 relevent posts, but both of them are serial GPS receivers, not USB.

When my carputer boots up, it thinks the USB GPS receivers is a mouse then the mouse pointer goes crazy on the screen. I had to unplug it and replug it back it to fix it. It only happens when my carputer boots up with the USB receiver pluged in. Does anyone know what's going on?

If it's a BU303 or compatible, try using these drivers:

Obviously virus-scan them first to be on the safe side/use at own risk but they have worked fine for me for 2 years

I had this problem with my GPS connected via GPS. It was easily fixed by going into the Device Manager and disabling the mouse that said "Microsoft Ballpoint Mouse".

This is the fix. Could also search for "mouse jumping" to find relevant threads in the forum. It has been discussed before.

I did the registry fix when I installed my USB GPS receiver and it worked perfectly. Now I added XM radio (XMD1000) through the serial port and the mouse has started to jump again. How do I fix it now?

If you want to fix it for good, search for sermouse.sys (in the windows dir) and rename it to something else (sermouse.sys.bak)

Will I still be able to use the mouse? (USB mouse in the car and PS2 when I take it inside) - Thanks.

I did what aoLhaTer suggested and renamed the serial mouse driver file. No more jumping mouse (at least as far as I could tell) and everything works just fine. What is funny is that my carputer booted right up with no problems. Usually I have to push the restart button a few times to get it going....

sermouse.sys is the driver for..you guessed it, a serial mouse. USB and PS2 mice shouldnt be effected

Okay....It did not work...When I started the computer this morning the jumping mouse was back again. I checked the "semouse.sys" which I had renamed and it turned out that the XP had automatically reinstalled it for me! I guess there was no point renaming it again if XP was going to reinstall it.

So I went into the registery to check on the fix that I had applied before (see above post by ret). I noticed that fix had also been changed back to its original (last number had become 3 instead of 4). Probably it had happened when I removed the craputer to install the XM radio. So I again changed the last digit from 3 to 4.

It now seems to be working again as I rebooted and the jumping mouse was gone. We shall see if that fix will hold when I start the carputer on the way home tonight.
