Had a very odd thing happen...
- windows 7
- plugged in xtremebee usb.
- kept getting behavior as if the right mouse button was being pressed
- apm could not connect over xbee link
I opened the "Devices and Printers" window on the control panel, and it seems Windows 7 was thinking the xbee was a mouse.
I looked at various settings to see if there was a "this is not a mouse" button. I didn't change anything, but it seems to have fixed things.

yes, windows does this from time to time. It decided to install the mouse drivers over top the FTDI drivers.
Remove the "mouse" device, and then reinstall the FTDI drivers.
Sometimes windows fights more and refuses, be patient and persistent.

You may find that you are not alone ;)
I had the same situation, my xbee name was Microsoft Ballpoint Mouse or something like this.
One way I found to omit this is to put only adapter to usb port, click connect and then put the xbee into adapter.
The worst was I couldn't even do something because mouse moved in random directions.
