Hi,
I'm sorry that I don't know the solution to your problem, but I have
one of my own.  If I try to use the mouse in any other port than 
COM1, it won't work. The computer just won't find any mouse if not in COM1.
So I wonder how you did it ?  Any others that know ?
I would like to have the mouse in COM2.  (it's a real MS-MOUSE)
Thanx.
