Hi,

Look in the device manager if there is a "microsoft ballpoint mouse" is installed.

Sometimes i have problems with that. An FTDI chip is recognized and it shows the correct com port, but immediately the wrong mouse driver catches the port or the data.

The solution is to disable the ballpoint mouse driver in device manager.

Hope this helps

Klaus
