P.S. sorry to double-post like this.
===============================================
Sara,
It's far simpler to go into the Device Manger and disable the spurious
device, as described here:
http://www.gpsmap.net/GarminHints.html#GPSR_ComputerMouse
No need to edit boot.ini (obsolete in any case), no need to edit the
registry. By the way, on a test Windows-8 system the GPS wasn't detected as
a serial mouse, so possibly Microsoft have improved the mouse detection
code!
Cheers,
David
