windows xp serial device detected as mouse

[norak]

Does anybody a solution for when a serial device conected to the PC is detected for the OS WXP as a serial mouse?

I try adding the NoSerialMiceX instruction in boot.ini but it doesn´t work and when I connect more than 7 GPS the mouse pointer get crazy.

I know that this is no a problem directly from NI but someone maybe the same problem and find out a solution.

thanks

Oh man, I have had the exact problem with an old serial GPS device connected through a USB to RS232 adaptor.

I think I went into the Control Panel-->System---->Device Manager and disabled the "serial mouse" that showed up.

Try that first and I will check and make sure when I get home as I do not have my laptop and GPS with me today.

NoSerialMice Syntax

/NoSerialMice - Disables the detection of serial mice on all COM ports.

/NoSerialMice:COMx - Disables the detection of serial mice on COM x, where x is the number of the port.

/NoSerialMice:COMx,y,z - Disables the detection of serial mice on COM x, y and z.

ou can prevent the auto detection and installation of any Pnp-devicesby removing or renaming the newdev.dll works on XP embedded I have not tested it in XP. But XP embedded is XP most of the time
