David -- that particular "solution" does not work in many cases.

Sarah -- that solution also doesn't work in many cases. Read the entire 3
pages of frustrated comments that follow the so-called "solution" to the
problem (the start value resets to 3).
All -- I've never seen a robust solution to the issue of rapid serial data
on a Windows NT/XP/Vista/7 machine. It's not just GPS; any serial telemetry
device from thermometer to frequency counter to time interval analyzer
suffers the same fate. If any of you have a 100% workable solution please
send it to me *off-line*. If I'm convinced it works, I'll post the one true
solution here.
I realize there are a number of work-around hacks that sometimes work, or
work for a while. My goal is a single action a windows user can perform that
will then permanently prevent any and all future serial / PnP / USB GPS-like
devices from being wrongly interpreted as a mouse for the life of the
machine.
Thanks,

Tom,
Thanks for the updates. On both my Windows-7/64 PC and my Windows-8/64 PC
I've not had to apply any fixes at all.
Cheers,
David
