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.

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.
