Just my 2 cents worth here.  Most computers that I've worked with that use a
mouse on the com port seem to cause similar problems.  As you found the hard
way, it was easier to install a PS2 mouse.

Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] Digital camera connection problem


I use a HPC-30 digital camera, and when I first got it I couldn't make it
work.  I got the same error you are getting.  It was a conflict between my
mouse and my camera.  It boiled down to this, I could resolve the conflict,
but then I couldn't simultaneously use my modem.  I suppose you could say it
was a three way conflict.  I fiddled with settings, and changed IRQ's for
hours trying to get all three to play nicely.  Finally, I resolved it by
purchasing a PS/2 mouse.  Now they all three live happily together.
