Anyone got any KVM experience..

[eternal-september.org]

I've got an iogear GCS942UW6 on both an XP and a Win 7 Pro64 computer... It
works like a dream on the Win7 computer but the XP system will freeze up or
the mouse button will sort of stay clicked (when I move the mouse around it
will highlight everything like I'm holding the mouse down). Does this sound
like problems with the KVM? And if so is there a cure?

I have some IOGear ps/2 KVMs but I've never had any trouble with them.

GCS942UW6 looks to be a hybrid model, so that it can do either/or ps/2
or USB.

For troubleshooting purposes, switch the two computer ends around and
see if the trouble follows the KVM leads.

Are you using USB or ps2 or both?

You should configure your eset nod32 so that either it doesn't scan
outgoing news messages or that it doesn't stamp the confirmation on your
messages.
