It loks like when this mouse was sold, it came with its own serial card. The driver looks for the odd address this card used and if it does not see it, it does not work.

The work around from microsoft involved setting your serial ports to the odd addresses. The usb/serial device can not do this.

I would contact the seller and see what they suggest. If they do not have the card, I would get your money back (if you can) and look for another mouse that works off the usb port.

I do not think anyone sells serial mice anymore. I thought they went away when the PS2 port came out.
