Of Mice and Modems

I'm having a problem with my new mouse lately...it's not tracking the way it
should and doesn't need cleaning. In my device manager, the mouse shows up
with the yellow exclamation mark, but updating the mouse driver hasn't
changed anything. I've noticed that the mouse stops working when my modem
is dialing my internet connection, but seems to work once we're connected.
Could there be some sort of conflict between them? The mouse is on COM1 and
the modem is on COM3. I seem to remember reading something over the years
about COM ports and there was something I read about the modem and mouse
ports, but it's been a long time. Perhaps one of you resident techies has a
solution?
