I am not familiar with "TameDOS6" (though the name rings a remote bell), so this in fact could interfere with the communication between WP5.1 and the Windows XP "mouse driver". I just did a quick Google search and it seems to be a payware, though with a 30 "trial period". I would have to download this trial version later today and make some tests. But honestly, I don't really feel to do unpaid troubleshooting for a paid product, as this whole issue doesn't seem to be even remotely FreeDOS/Cutemouse related and that's what we discuss in here. If you are a paying customer of "TameDOS", you should rather contact their tech support... I am out of the house for a hike for the next 3-5h, to take advantage of the nice, warm weather for a change today, so it will be a few hours before I could get back to you with my findings...
