===============================================

Sara,

It's far simpler to go into the Device Manger and disable the spurious 
device, as described here:

  http://www.gpsmap.net/GarminHints.html#GPSR_ComputerMouse

No need to edit boot.ini (obsolete in any case), no need to edit the 
registry.  By the way, on a test Windows-8 system the GPS wasn't detected as 
a serial mouse, so possibly Microsoft have improved the mouse detection 
code!

Cheers,
David
