The line with REM is a REMARK and does nothing but type out the line.

The sescond line isn't quite right as it doesn't the first C:\ (at the
beginning). That line is the instruction to run the SHSMOD program with
the switches B and H.

I suggest you add the following at the beginning of that line (but
without the quote marks): "REM " that is, REM and a space. This will
disable the SHSMOD program. Reboot the computer after you change and
SAVE the autoexec.bat file. See if the problem goes away. If so, forget
using the SHSMOD program. If no change, we need to check other things.

The line "SMC37C669 at 03f0h detected" is an installed network card by
SMC, with its address at 03f0h.

The line "Port1 (03f8h) Serial Speed Mode:HIGH" is your serial port
called COM1 at the standard address of 03f8h and the port speed set to
HIGH.

The line "Port2 (02f8h) Serial Speed Mode:HIGH" is your serial port
called COM1 at the standard address of 02f8h and the port speed set to
HIGH.

Question: tell us about your mouse. Is it a standard serial mouse
plugged into COM1 or is it a bus mouse (small round connector about hte
size of a pencil)?

If it is a standard serial mouse, the SHSMOD program setting the port
speed to HIGH may be a problem...mouse/drivers/hardware can't keep up
with each other (putting it in very simple terms). Disable the SHSMOD
program in the autoexec.bat and check the speed settings for the port
in:
Start>Settnigs>ControlPanel>System>DeviceManager>Ports>Com1 (or Com2)
for the port the mouse is plugged into. Click Properties>PortSettings
and set the Bits per Second to 9600.

Hope this helps.
