Same problem. Mouse in USB port and GPS in serial port on a laptop.
Power up the PC with the GPS unplugged or switched off. Then switch on GPS. - No problem Phil "Woodpecker" wrote in message ... I have a rather annoying problem with a mouse-gps powered by the computer and connected to the serial port: The computer sometimes thinks it is the seral mouse (used for clicking etc). To get around this I have to manually connect the mouse-gps after the computer has booted. The system is stationary hidden away in my boat and not that easy to access. I've tried with both seral and USD mouse-gps units and getting the same problem I assume this is computer related. The computers (I've used several giving the same problem) are all Win 2000 and it seems to be the P-n-P mouse detection that messes up if there is a signal available while the system is booting. Has anybody else here seen this problem and how do I cure it permanently? |
