GPSTrackP - TT-300 • Regarding erratic mouse cursor (WIN2000): If your mouse doesn’t work properly after installation of the USB 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 the GPS device from the USB port during bootup and only re-insert after boot-up is completed.
