Thunderbolt and serial mouse

Sun, Oct 25, 2009 8:09 PM

I remember seeing a posting on this reflector in the last year or two
about how to disable the PC's serial mouse so a Thunderbolt can be used
on the serial port with no ill effects. Thought I saved that email, but
can't find it.

Anyone remember how to disable the serial mouse? Or where the
posting/reference is?

Thanks.

Just go into the hardware manager and delete the new mouse device.

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?

Yeah, assuming you're running windows, add the /FASTDETECT switch to
boot.ini.  Details at:

Thanks Scott and others.

Turns out that /FASTDETECT was already in my boot.ini but I had the
problem anyway.

Robert's suggestion to use Device Manager to disable the serial mouse
worked and I'm in business.

Appreciate the help from everyone.

All:

Which of the Rubidium standards are included in the Lucent RFTG-m-RB
time and frequency unit?  Approximately how old are they?

Any pointers to documentation?

Thanks,
--- Graham

On machines W2000 and before you added a switch in BOOT.INI "/NoSerialMice".

On XP and maybe earlier, you can go to the mouse and disable the serial
mouse.
