Default nmea - Windows XP problem

The easiest thing to do is turn on the GPS last. Win XP recognizes it's
input as a serial mouse. Check out Nobeltec's site for a couple of other
fixes involving disabling mice, etc.

They also list a Microsoft fix.

Windows will not start properly [cursor jumps around etc.] when GPS

[garmin
48 or garmin 120] is connected to the computer [tried two different

laptops
via DB9 serial port] with operating system Windows XP. This does not

happen
if the GPS is not set to nmea output [none/none or grmn/grmn] even if it

is
connected to the laptop while booting up. Any ideas? Is it a Win XP
problem?
Thanks,
Dan
