REGARDING ERATTIC MOUSE CURSOR IN WIN2000:
2. If your mouse doesn’t work properly after installation of the GPS driver, this situation is caused by a problem
in WIN2000 and is not related to the GPS device. Microsoft has acknowledged and stated that “the serial
device (USB is actually converted to serial), may be detected as a serial mouse in WIN2000 O/S.” To best
resolve this issue,unplug theGPS device from the USB port during boot-up and onlyre-insert afterboot-up is
completed.
