[time-nuts] USB and Mouse conflict persists

[Paul Davis]

Stan and the list:

This topic has come up a number of times, and I've been annoyed by the 
behavior as well. The solution I have found is to use a little utility 
called 'NoSerialMouse' that was created by Marcio Borges. It requires no 
installation, you can just run it as needed. You will be able to choose 
the com port(s) you wish to address. It's solved my problem on my 
Win7-64 box.  Unfortunately, the author's website is apparently dead, so 
I have placed it on my website at 
http://www.pumpkinbrook.com/files/NoSerialMouse.zip . Although the file 
is clean, you guys don't know me from Adam, so use proper caution before 
running it (virus scan, etc.).

Hope this helps. This is such a common problem, maybe this should be 
placed in the files area.

73s,
Paul - K9MR
