im using a d-link kvm switch dkvm-2k to run 2 computers off one screen/mouse/keyboard,and lately whenever i switch and come back the computer with windowsxp,the mouse wont move,the keyboard works but the mouse is just frozen,i went to control panel/mouse,and it said the mouse is working fine,i even changed the pointer style and the mouse changed as well but still wouldnt move.

it started only doing this every once and awhile,but tonight it happened everytime,the mouse even froze on the other computer running win98se for the first time as well tonight.

is there a way to get my mouse back without rebooting once it freezes like that?also the keyboard is a normal ps2,but the mouse is usb but i have a ps2 converter on it.

You could try plugging the mouse into a usb port if you have an extra one and see if that works.
