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
FT4232 devices.
N.B. This option does not appear to be available for standard COM ports,
or USB to Serial devices from other manufacturers.

Whatever works for you though I guess. I was just explaining the
officially supported method *shrugs*
=================================================
It seems from Tom's comments that the various fixes don't work for
everyone. I count myself lucky that I've not needed any fixes for
either my Win-7/64 and my Win-8/64 PCs. Win-7/64 is from a Sure
Electronics evaluation board running at the default 9600 baud with
several sentences, and Win-8/64 from a Garmin GPS 18x LVC at 38400
baud, emitting just $GPRMC if I recall correctly.
I wasn't originally aware of the more recent Microsoft article, not
having needed it myself, so thanks for the pointer.
I hope the information we both presented will be helpful to someone.
Cheers,
David
