I had a problem like that with a digital camera once - I actually took it back to the manufacturer to be tested! Turns out that Windows CE Services grabs the COM port even when it's disabled (at least under Win95). The solution is to open the Windows CE Services Properties, enable it, and change it to use the mouse COM port. It'll complain, but you can ignore that. You won't be able to close the properties box, but the change *will* take effect as long as the box is open. Yes, that's two Win95 bugs, one minor and one major, in one posting.
