A method that does work (for me) on Windows XP and Windows 7 to tame the
wild mouse.
1. Use a FTDI USB to serial port converter
2. Disable 'Serial Enumerator' in the advanced device settings properties.
I've used both single port adapters based on FT232 chips and 4 port

The situation with the FTDI chips is rather complicated - the early ones
had an optional external serial EEPROM that you could use to change the
device defaults - this was mostly used for changing the VID, PID and device
description string but if you put a serial number in there it's reported to

Besides the previous mentioned Time-Nuts reference in this thread
