Are you using a Serial Mouse (i.e. is it plugged into a Serial/COM port). If the answer to this is no, then simply disable the sermouse device in Control Panel / Devices. If the answer is yes, then you need to install an appropriate driver for your Serial mouse.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

JB.

Sure, click on "Services" & make the "Sermouse" option from "Automatic" to "Manual" .

I agree go to control panel then services, then find sermouse and click option from "Automatic" to "Manual" This will make the Serial mouse option be disabled.
