Well, the trick over in the GPS groups that seemed to work
for me on my laptop was to turn on the GPS, boot XP (so
the cursor goes crazy thinking it is a "MS Pointing device"),
unplug the GPS so you get the cursor control back. Then go
into device manager and select the "pointing device" (that it
really isn't) and select "do not use" or something like that (it
has been a while since I did it). That leaves the com port
available but tells winders not to use the data from that as
a pointing device. There is also a MS KB article, but their
solution is more complex (this has been an issue since NT?).
Hope that helps
