I had the same problem before as I had some problem with my modem in COM 1,
so I had to remove it and let the mouse as the only device on COM 2. It 
turned out that the windows 3.1 could not recognise the mouse anymore, even
I tried to reinstall the windows again. The solution to this problem is
to set the mouse to COM 1, as according to the tech support of my computer,
windows 3.1 by default tried to find the mouse from COM 1 first before it
go to other ports. Some devices(especially my errorous modem) if installed
in COM 1, may interfere with the mouse recognition process and windows may
be fooled that the mouse is in COM 1, therefore not proceed to the other
ports to look for a mouse. Hope this helps and other guys please correct
me if I am wrong.
