Once you have connected your digital weight indicator to you PC, the next time you re-boot you may notice the mouse cursor moving around randomly on the Windows desktop. This occurs because Windows has detected the data being sent by your digital weight indicator and has made the assumption that the data is coming from a serial mouse.

 

What to do?

 

If you can easily disconnect the power from the digital weight indicator (e.g. unplug it from the wall) then disconnect the power.

 

If you can't, disconnect the digital weight indicator from the USB adapter, serial port server or PC.

 

If you are using a USB adapter DO NOT Disconnect the adapter. Disconnect the digital weight indicator from the adapter - that's it.

 

If you are using a serial port server, disconnect the scale from the serial port server device.

 

If you are connected to a serial port on the PC, disconnect the digital weight indicator from the port.

 

Finally, disable the serial mouse.
