I'm having a problem with my new Belkin OmniView E series 4-port KVM switch (F1DB104P). I'd like to know other's experience or get any suggestions.

This KVM causes some unknown mouse event whenever I switched from one computer to the other and moved mouse coursor. For example, I put mouse on an IE window showing some web page and scrolled down to the bottom of the page. I switched from this computer to the other and switched back. Then, if I moved my mouse, IE window scrolled up to the top automatically although I didn't push any buttons if I was using WinXP or Win2k. If I was using WinME, this unknown mouse event freezed WinME. I had to reboot it by reset button.

While I was using Linksys 2-port KVM, I had not experienced any problems like this. It just didn't support MS Trackball Optical (This is a reason why I decided to upgrade this old KVM), but worked great with regular MS wheel mouse. However, this Belkin KVM showed above problem with not only MS Trackball Optical but also MS regular wheel mouse (3 buttons).

Therefore, I thought this KVM was defective. I asked Belkin to exchange. Then, I got new one but it showed the same problem. So, I was wondering what I should do next. Does anybody has any experiences with this new Belkin OmniView E series? Does it work good? Or not? Thanks.

Configuration:
P3TDE6 with WinXP
TUV4X with WinME but this is freezed by this KVM often
