Im using an old pc with 2 serial ports - a 9 pin joystick style one, and a 25 (i think) pin one. The 25 pin one used to drive a modem, but not any more. the 9 pin one was connected to a mouse, but the port is broken. i want to use the 25 pin port with the mouse. how do i do this? its a ps2 mouse, which came with a ps2 to 9 pin serial adaptor. i have a 9 pin to 25 ´pin adaptor, which physically fits both the mouse and the pc. i just need to change some setting somewhere!
do i just swap the irq settings around between the 2 com ports? do i fiddle with the registry? do i reinstall the mouse drivers? do i right click on my computer, choose properties, and fiddle with something there?

amusingly, this is a danish-windows powered machine, so its not as easy as it would be if i were back home (in the UK)

Any help gratefully received!

thanks,
