  2F8 is the standard address for COM2.  It appears that two of your
devices are claiming to exist at this address.  According to the
information above, your mouse is plugged into one of these devices.

  Is this an internal modem you're trying to install?  If so, try
setting it as COM3, or if it doesn't offer that choice, COM1 (and in
this case, re-disable the motherboard COM1 in the CMOS setup).
